hello all, I've a 1999 petrol LWB transit which only recently has started giving me trouble starting.
It used to start within the first few cranks then idle up whilst warming up, however the problem I have is that I can sit there cranking for ages without even a glimmer of hope. It does eventually start but only after frustrating minutes of cranking. If nothing else, Ive a great battery.!
Ive gone through all the electrical connectors and re-sat them. Sprayed carb cleaner into the air manifold hot wire in case there was a build up and checked the air filter....all good. If I could only get to the spark plugs, I'd check them to, however the access is nigh on impossible. Any hints on that task?
When it does finally start, it runs "normally" and you would'nt suspect there was a problem.
Im guessing the fuel pump is not working .....
Anyone got any clues or suggestions please......
cheers
