Hi all
I've used the search but couldn't find anything covering this but apologies if it has been covered!
I'm having an intermittent problem with my 1.6 petrol whereby it will turn over fine but doesn't fire - won't even try. Then after anywhere from 5-30 seconds it will usually splutter into life, with a strong smell of fuel which makes me think it's a spark issue or it's over-fueling a lot. Then when it starts it will idle high, something like 2-3k.
This happens maybe 10-20% of the time, the rest of the time it starts and drives perfectly.
I have changed the MAP sensor, lambda sensor (you never know!), spark plugs and ignition pack. I can't see any signs of a vacuum leak.
Any had this problem or have any ideas what might be causing it?
Any help much appreciated!
