TROUBLE STARTING

Postby woody » Thu Feb 02, 2006 3:02 pm

OVER THE PAST WEEK I HAVE TROUBLE GETTING MY VAN TO START,IT USED TO START FIRST TIME , I PULLED THE CHOKE RIGHT OUT TURNED THE KEY AND IT WOULD START, BUT NOW I PULL THE CHOKE OUT , IT COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS, I PUSH THE CHOKE HALF IN STILL WON'T START, IN THE END I HAVE TO KEEP PUMPING THE ACCELORATER , WHILE TURNING THE KEY UNTIL IT EVENTUALLY STARTS, BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO PICK UP. IT'S 2.0 LTR PINTO WITH SINGLE CHOKE WEBBER CARB (MANUAL CHOKE) I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT IS TIMING, PLUGS OR WHAT, ANYONE GOT ANY IDEAS THANKS.
