Hi all,
New to this site and new to S15 ownership...picked it up on Friday! Sadly, my new toy is giving me a bit of a headache.
When trying to start it, after it's been stood for a good few hours, it takes many attempts for it to fire. The engine turns over, but just doesn't fire up. When it does eventually do so (took about 12 attempts today), it starts really sluggishly. Within a few seconds it settles and idles at about 950rpm.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas about:
a) why it takes so many attempts to start and
b) is the slow rise in rpm normal?
If there's any more information any wise folk need to give me a clue, please let me know!
Thanks folks.
Jon
