94 coupe starting problems - 11/24/2006 4:04:56 PM    TCDD   Posts: 16 Joined: 11/24/2006 Status: offline hello all hopefully someone can help me.. i have the above car (2L 16V) it ran fine with no problems until last week when it had a a big oil leak, since then its had a new clutch, sump gasket, seals etc, it has also recently had new plugs etc, since its been done its refusing to start properly and dies in first gear or under 2k revs, the fuel pump and starter cable were ok before and im guessing messing with the rest of the engine wont have effected them. the engine turns over fine but just wont start up until the fourth or fifth try and then it sometimes dies, and really dies when pulling away in first (like those important times at roundabouts and junctions...)sometimes stalling, sometimes just juddering like hell... im sure its a common problem of some description, so any ideas gratefully received.

RE: 94 coupe starting problems - 12/7/2006 3:11:53 PM    TCDD   Posts: 16 Joined: 11/24/2006 Status: offline thanks for the help, replaced the valve, it checked ok but must have been buggered inside.. i replaced it with an idle valve from a 2l 16v astra, its exactly the same except for a slightly larger diameter inlet (and being metal), both are made by bosch and it seems to work fine, does anyone know of any long term issues with using them, as its a lot easier to get vauxhall ones...? and on to the radiator..
