Poor starter from cold

[white2lSR]

ive just got my XE running in my nova and it was fine until today. Its now very bad to start from cold and you have to give it a little throttle to start it and keep it running. Its fine once its ran a few minutes.

Does anyone know what it might be? Its not showing any fault codes.

anyone????

[Riggy]

mine does the same thing just starts and then cuts out unless i use a small bit of throttle for about a min ,

ive tryed , different air flow meter , new coolent temp sensor , different ecu's lol and i have no change and no ecu light so i gave up and live with it lol only get used maybee once a week lol

i cant leave it like that, its just strange how it was fine one minute then like this the next. I was wondering if it might be the ICV but im not sure????

You'll do no harm by cleaning the ICV....

[Paul]

if you crimp the pipe that goes to the ICV, and it doesnt do it, then its your ICV.

(i think thats the test anyway, lol)

[white2lSR]

is it easy to clean?

[Adam]

Piss easy clean if you can remove it lol
Its a right f**ker, down the back of the engine, under the inlet with a plug and two jubilee clips.
