How often do u need to start the FD

[quixeric]

actually how often do u need to start the car or run the car in order to keep the spark from drying? im not sure is bcos the spark plug drying that cause the car hard to start after a long time didnt start or some other reason.

Hallo bro how r u?...
If u use cold plugs(4's 9 or 4's 11) u might facing the same problem as me. U need to rev ur car during idling or cold start. I start mine at least once a week or twice even I dont drive the car too often. Also check ur alternator too, it might be getting old edi.

p/s: text me when u r back in Msia..

eric- are you flooding the engine. check the following.

once key is turned to on without starting, you can hear your fuel pump "priming" . I will mail you soon.

more like flooding problems to me.......

 

[quixeric]

all answer wrong.... haha, its the battery... its kinda weak but it stills turn the flywheel eventually, maybe no power to generate sparks. after i change batt it starts wit 1st turn. now i need to change my clutch, slips like hell, i think cant even go up genting, not sure is the hydrolic prob ornot

I agree with quixeric! I also encountered the same issue when starting the car after 3 or more days. If the battery does not have sufficient charge it will crank the engine but not enough to start.

If you keep cranking a few times the engine will flood, wetting the plugs with fuel. Once this happens the engine definitely won't start until you remove the plugs cranking it over to remove excess fuel - make sure you disconnect the igniter & fuel pump. You may need to also clean the plugs for extra insurance.

Of course once you have removed the excess fuel use a fully charged battery or jump start using a running vehicle.

Happy rotoring!

well i didnt take off the plug actually, it was there like weeks, i think the fuel has evaporated itself, once i put in a new batt, it jus start on the 1st turn. think i need to check my plugs, sometime the car felt like fuel cut, but it will blowup at the exos sometime, and there is flame too. like not burning adequately

it's either that or weakened started..... it was once happened to my daily toyota car..... my FD has a weakened started as well. it's matter of time when it doesn't start. or it's the grounding / relay damaged.

change Ogura Twinplates... bwahahahahah or tripple plate.. since ur car is pretty much another monster.

flames..........that's cool... even on starting ? that's wicked !!!

mine only when backfire.. :P
and i'm running super rich. old plug wires and 8/9 plugs still have mis-firing.

 

[quixeric]

i did add grounding before the starting problem occurs, i think its the battery, cos after that day it didnt start i lefted it for few days more and then the batt is flat, so thats explained i guess.

im gg for exedy i guess, mine look like monster but its a small kitten only hehe

the flames happen very seldom n during drive, after few hicups of effect similar to fuel cut or may fuel flood, then i can see surrounding in orangy yellow if its in the dark, thats the flame at the back or mayb at waste gate.

i would probably want to go for a sports single plate... as mine is just a snail among the rotaries.
