Cool

Right been out this morning and tried her. Starts and ticks over but now we have a loud ticking noise that speeds up when you push the loud pedal. The noise goes once she is up to running temperature.

Turned her off. Waited 5 minutes and turned the key and she started. Done this a couple of times and each time she started to struggle to tick over. But would then settle down to a steady tick over.

Would it be by any chance anything to do with the crankshaft sensor, (been changed twice in the last 2 years), becoming hot. Or the camshaft sensor, (changed once in the last 12 months).

But she wouldn’t start from cold yesterday so that may rule that idea out.

I forgot that once the pumped in primed you cannot hear it, so me thinking the pump is at fault would appear to be wrong.

I have done a video and can post it up on Facebook if you want to listen.
