Hard To Start

[richys_saxo]

Hi, I've a citreon saxo 1.1 Petrol (2000 Reg)

 

If it is left for a long period of time it is difficult to start, for example it starts and cuts straight off, this is resolved by revving it up but its pretty annyong.

 

I've noticed that the rev meter isn't always touching 10 (normally is when its been revved up a bit) and when the engine is about to stall its on 5.

 

Any Ideas?

Hi Richy. 1st X Ive replied, so hope lis worx. My mate ses, there R several sensors & an auto choke. (I av simila prob wiv my R reg 93000 1.1sx!) I'd say, find wich sensors apply (& where lay R) C if U can boro sum 2 try replacin until fault gets betta, (lay R, I wood say, inta dependant). Once prob gets betta, fone a rnd local brakers. If u find where sensors R gis a shout, I wil do same. Tel us ow U get on. Gd luc S
