Hi All,
I need to reach out for the help of the A2 Gurus again. My A2 was SORNd over lock down and I took it out for the first run at the weekend. All was going well and running nice and smooth but then I stopped off at the shop and then it wouldn't fire up any more. I'd replaced the battery just before lock-down so that was strong but it just wouldn't catch, it would fire, splutter and then cut out. Eventually a kind soul got it going and appeared to feather the throttle but it stalled on the way home and I couldn't get it going again. I gave up and got a lift home but went back a couple of hours later and it fired up just fine, it was 5-10 mins drive home but when I shut it off again it wouldn't restart. So I'm going to guess that I have a warm starting problem. I've checked out a few of the other threads and seen mention of crank and temp sensors but couldn't make complete sense of it all.
Any suggestions of where to start?
Oh the EML light is on but that's normal as I still haven't had the inlet manifold flaps recalibrated after the inlet rebuild.
As ever, I appreciate any help.
Many Thanks, Jeff
