Strange starting issue


Recommended Posts

Posted

Okay, my TGP has a very strange problem. Everytime I go to start it if its sat for a while (usually a week) it won't start unless I prime the fuel pump by turning the key on, off, then on again. I have to turn it over and prime it one more time, then it'll fire right up. I'm thinking that its gotta be in the fuel system somewhere. What do you guys think? I should probably note that it idles great but it likes to bog down to the point of almost dying on light throttle, but runs awesome on WOT.

either fuel pump or slow leak is what i would think.

I have left mine for month and had no problems :mrgreen:

Check the fuel pressure regulator. Pull the vacuum line off of it, and see if there is fuel in there. If so, replace it. If not, then it should be OK.

Check what you have for fuel pressure at the rail and see how long it takes for the pressure to bleed off.
