Difficulty starting

Hi all,

After several months of trying to find out why my car has difficulty starting, I have found the cause. 

I would like to thank you all for the suggestions which I followed on to determining the cause of the symptoms I had with the car.

The car now runs like new. It's remarkable how much the car drives so much better and responsive.

The cause:

2 bad injectors. The other 2 were borderline performance, so all 4 were changed with reconditioned Denso injectors.

I didn't consult Mr T, as I knew the cost would be astronomical! For what they would have charged, it wouldn't have been worth it exceeding the value of a 2005 car.

One injector was not holding pressure and the other was atomising diesel too late,  at a higher pressure. The other two could have been replaced, but not recommended. 

I am so pleased it was done. It has certainly greatly increased my confidence in the old girl.

As much as I try to do what I can with regard to maintenance, there comes a time when you have to let the chosen professionals do their thing.

The outcome of this venture is that I have found a garage and diesel specialist who didn't charge an arm and a leg and has years of experience with diesel injectors.

Again, thanks to all who have contributed to my requests for help in the past.

Peter
