Just as well I have two sensors. The one I fitted had been kicking around in the Royal Mail system for two weeks, surprised it worked at all!Oh bugger, well that’s the first component to check. Next on the list to check for ‘car won’t start when hot’ is the cold start valve and the thermotime switch. Attached are the checking procedures. Sorry they are photos, my scanner is caput.
Thanks, not sure when I will get onto it.Alrighty, the last component to check is the airflow meter. You can only do two checks (in the attachments to my earlier post) a mechanical check of the flap, could be binding when it gets hot but unlikely, and the resistance check of the air temp sensor. After that it’s down to checking for wiring gremlins.
Quick update. Swapped temp sensor for another new one, cleaned up all the connectors and checked the wiring for anything obvious. Went for a run and it is still over-fuelling and still has the hot start issue! Bugger.
I noticed the earth cable isn't in great condition and that on the last couple of outings the battery hasn't been fully charged, even though it has been on a trickle charger. When I do get it started and press the 'computer' test, it cycles through and the battery is showing as yellow, not green. The battery is only about a year old, hence I wonder if the earth cable is part of the issue? Regardless I am going to replace it.
Any suggestions on where to get a new one?
PS: The injectors are probably in need of cleaning, I'm just putting it off.
