Have been trying to resolve this starting issue for a month or more now.
Problem is : FIRST start of the day , engage starter, engine fires and then..... IF the throttle is so much as dabbed, the engine stalls and will not re-start for a while ( flooded ? ) If the accelerator is not touched, the engine shudders along at about 450rpm , just "chugging" and if left , the accelerator may be VERY gently tickled/dabbed AFTER about 30 seconds.
Revs rise about 100rpm ....then after a few more dabs and by now about 50 seconds, the engine can be very gingerly accelerated up to about 1500rpm.....
After which there are no further starting issues for the rest of the day.
Have changed cold start valve and idle control valve plus both temperature senders on the block.( at least the water temp gauge works now! )
Running out of ideas.
Any ideas gratefully received.
PLEASE NOTE!!! My mistake, the engine is a NG code
