Trophy #267
Im trying to fault find the starting issue on my FF 172 which appears to be temp related. The warmer the tempt he more awkward it seems to start. Somewhere between hot and cold. Initial turnover fine without starting, 2nd attempt usually fires and runs ok.
No faults sown at dealer altho now car is out of warranty. I had the crank sensor changed jul ish last year and it hasnt sorted the issue. Mechanic has suggested possibly collant sensor / air intake sensor but wondered if ne1 had any tech info on these as I was looking at removing a suspicious sensor and mesuring the resistance (assuming they are linear, resistance varibles sensors)
I have read various posts suggesting 'check collant / crank sensors' etc - what exactly are you referring to to check ? just electrical plug connections or other ?
Also, dash temp reading seems ok - unsure which sensor this responds to.
Regards
Rob
