HI everyone
I have a nagging issue that is really puzzling me.. and i need someones help
Have an a 87 turbo that's Ive owned since new.. ( yes .. Im a true gear head!) with a difficult hot engine re-start problem ..... .
When i go to restart it after its run fvor 10 min or more....., i have to hold the throttle wide open so it doesn't stall out. If i don't hold the "petal to the metal," it will catch right away but coughs and sputters at 300-400 rpm and stalls out... in 2-4 seconds & will not start again ..........., until it cooled down enough or i hold the Throttle plate wide open till it catches and starts to build up speed . (Its much worse in the summer than in the winter down here in Texas... )
Of course the trick is to let off at 2000-3000 rpm so u don't go above that !!
Ive heard it can be the VSV under the intake manifold , or other vacuum issues. I have not replaced it mindlessly, as i want to make sure i get it RIGHT !! What are all the possibilities it can be for this issue and where or what are some links i can go to read and fix it !
It starts wonderfully on cool or cold days,, and anytime in the morning .
