Cold start mechanism and random cable
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2025 3:24 pm
Hi all!
Been having rough starts for a while and decided to investigate today
I have replaced the cold start solenoids and vacuum lines previously which didn't help at all.
I noticed this today, it seems the cold start mechanism engages and then springs back immediately, there is also no change in throttle or rpm when turning on A/C.
I have taken a little video to show the issue: https://youtu.be/be3KPXOax9w?si=XtTgIecHSueDlsb6
Also while looking around I noticed this cable hanging about, probably not related but looks like it's connected to a sensor, possibly the ECT sensor? Where would this plug into? Can't see anywhere at all it could go
Have attached a picture below
Thanks!
