i2000 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 hi,my manta starts first time every time but when cold after about half a minute the revs drop and it becomes very lumpy and will stall if i let it,if i lightly press the throttle the revs pick up but takes a few seconds to run smooth again,it is fine when it warms up,the engine has been rebuilt and has good compression,can anybody point me in the right direction,thanks.

H-400 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 probably a problem with your cold-start system: do you got a CIH with that coldstart injector on the rear of your inlet-manifold? (some do not) Check if the wires on your thermostatic house (how do you call it in English??) are plugged in the right way on the right sensor. Check if the cold-start injector is plugged in, check for corrosion even on the massa wire of the engine and the one on the inlet manifold. Check the wires (could be broken somewhere) Offcourse: is the feul line installed on the injector? If the cold-start sensor does not work properly you'v got the same problem. Important: The cold-start injector is also activated with the "50" wire of your starter engine, so if you start the engine the injector injects and if the engine runs the "cold-start temperature switch" (one of those sensors on the thermo-house) takes over. If this all works properly check the other temperature sensor, every temperature has got its specific resistance. I'v got those info if you need it. I think you can take some time with this, succes!
