Problem when starting
I have a KV6, 2001 Connie Saloon and it has a problem on starting. Starts OK but then runs like it is out of fuel and eventually stops. Runs really rough and throttle is unresponsive. 2 or 3 goes at starting like this and the engine warms up it runs fine although like down a bit on power initially. I know there a lot of sensors that control the mixture and timing and was wondering if it may be caused by one of them. Have had problems with the fuel pump, it died and I have replaced it but could not get the original pump. I don't think the problem is with the pump. I have reinitialised the Throttle sensor by pumping the throttle 5 times. Have tried cleaning the idle air control valve, it had a lot of muck in it. I have also cleaned the IAT/MAP sensor. Any ideas as to where to look next would be appreciated.

Thanks, I will check that though I still think it is in one of the sensors as it runs perfectly when warm. yes I know about the filter and I took it out and cleaned it, was filthy. The fuel out was black. OK now.

Got me wondering now - didn't know it was possible to open the early type filter. The internal bits of the fuel tank is poster T-Cut's speciality, hopefully he'll see this.
Let us know what the pressure is when you find the time to measure it. Regards |

Did you 'unscrew' the cap to get to the filter? if so I suspect you have FFS. For info, filter elements go black within a year or so from new, so appearances are very deceptive. They're also a way of luring you into deeper trouble. In my experience, once a filter module is opened up, the tendency for FFS increases, so fitting the orange clip is essential.

This version doesn't get FFS and is very difficult to dismantle. The two lifting lugs distinguish it from the later type shown next. This is the type that gets FFS because the honeycombed cap will unscrew. Quote:
On the basis of this info, you managed to open up the early filter and reassemble it. No mean feat. If the above is correct, you don't have FFS as such and don't require the orange clip. You said the replacement pump isn't an original. What pump did you fit? TC |

If you have FFS you will need a FOC
Fabled Orange Clip - now white i think - binds your fuel filter - on later cars they come apart leading to starting issues and its a pretty common issue but an easy fix - once the clip is in place all sorted - only 3 or 4 pounds to buy.
