hard to start when warm Sign up here!

In the morning or when the car is cold it will start right up no problems however, once it gets warmed up and I shut it off, it's a bear to get started again. If I pull into the post office, run in, when I come back out and try to start it, it just laughs at me. I have to hold the ignition on, give it a gas and sit there waiting with the starter cranking over and over until it finally starts. And at that point it kinda sputters to life. In the morning, at lunch break, and when its quitting time I can go out and it will start up first pull. The car is a carbureted 1.6 four banger. re-tired Veteran / Moderator Jan 6, 2010, 3:29 PM Post #2 of 3 (1732 views) Re: hard to start when warm Sign In sounds like a possable choke problem . remove aircleaner top and see if the butterfly is open when car is warmed up. If not it could be a faulty heater or linkage prob . I would recommend taking to shop unless your savy with carbs.

Sounds like it's flooding itself, making a hard start. Tried holding the gas to the floor when it will not restart?   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
