Check the ecu temp sender on the thermostat housing. It's got 2 connectors.

When was the last time you pulled your spark plugs and checked them out?

Have you sorted all your other issues out yet??

Could be leaks, leaking petrol, leaking air, leaking sparks.

I agree with Rob.. check temp sensor and/or wiring. When this sensor is U/S, there is no enrichment on start and can be a full bitch to start . Fairly common !

thanks il have a look at it mate

If one of the 2 wires are broken the ECU defaults to a temperature of about -60c or something ridiculous like that!

 

[VR4GOTTI]

will try get a new sender for it

 

[brisvr4]

You can use one from a Hyundai as well. Much cheaper than Mitsi!

Hmm could be something that I need also... Any part numbers or from which hyunday is it from ?

My thermostat housing has like 5 sensors in it so searching for a thermo sensor could be tricky lol.

Sox for thread hijack

The temp sensor for the ecu is 3 pin.

 

[brisvr4]

No It isn't. It's a 2 pin on a vr4.
And this is the one that you want

Oops. Another stubby your way

You should get datalogging... saves so much fucking around! I had a bad water temp sensor once (reading -40°) and EVO Scan picked it up right away.

Are you still running a stock single board ECU?

cheers bro
