Once started the car runs well and if it stalls will start immediately.
Looking for pointers as to where to start looking please - fuel pressure ?


James,

You need a pressure tester kit to check your fuel pressures (control, system, & residual). Then confirm your CSV (cold start valve) and TTS (thermotime switch) are both good and working. Make sure you don’t have a significant amount of unmetered going into the system. And you’ll be able to start and run a CIS motor. Good luck.
