Idle control valve sticking shut?

Take it off and give it a good cleaning out

 

Is it plugged in for starters?

idle control valve ??

[Karl 15 1 Cars]

ive took it off and cleaned still no joy its still the same wont start unless full throttle and when it does start it sounds dead boggy then goes properly

Not sure from the description if this will help-

if it hasn't been running for a wee while, would you not be best: first cranking the engine plugs out, plugs in turning over with minimum amount of throttle application, hold the revs up at 2-2500 for 10-15 mins or so and it should idle itself. I just did that to my rebuilt xu10j4rs engine and it sounds good to me. Wouldn't idle to start off. Change oil, and filter, all should be good.

Make sure everything is plugged in, try a new icv perhaps? Symtoms sounds similar to unplugging a MAP or IAT

check fuel pump pressure. Are you sure it's priming?

[Karl 15 1 Cars]

yes its priming it just wont run without a bit of throttle but when it starts up it sounds dead boggy for a few seconds thn goes properly

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

Almost sounds like a dying pump.

Have you started enough times for it to use the 5 litres you put in?

ITs not dead fuel in the lines is it?

 

Just thinking if it has been sitting, maybe the rail and pipes have the old low octaine fuel in them?

I doubt its that, my 205 had 2 year old fuel in it and fired up fine with a fresh battery last year.

nah mate all tht would have past through by now beides its only been 4months and it takes at least 6 for the fuel to start going gammy

yes sorry about that haha

[laldy875 6 1 Cars]

does it misfire or pop?

[Matt205 14]

Pull the plugs and clean them with a wire brush

From what i have read it doesn't seem you have taken the lines off and cranked it over to see what the fuel delivery is like. Take off the feed hold it in a bucket and crank it, it should come out at a decent pressure.

Fuel pump earth in good order?

[Karl 15 1 Cars]

does it misfire or pop?

yes it does

yes have done this it fires out quite far so the fuel pressure is fine

[Karl 15 1 Cars]

im guessing so or id have no fuel pressure ?? but i have checked the earths and there clean and tight

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

Have you changed the double relay yet?

[Karl 15 1 Cars]

no i havnt one spare but i thought it would be ok as the fuel pump is priming and fuel presure is fine ??

[ORB 227 1 Cars]

Is it a tooth out?
