1jz-gte VVTi starting problems
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2015 2:21 pm
hi there guys,
i have a minor issue with starting my car...
vehicle is a 1jzgte VVti swapped JZX90 Cresta running a factory vvti ECU and everything from an X100 tourer v.
in the mornings when the engine is cold the engine starts straight away and same with when the engine is warm and has been running it hot-starts fine.
the issue i'm having is that when the engine is cold but the air temperature is hot, the car hesitates to start.
i will sit there cranking it over for around 10 seconds before it splutters into life, a dab of gas around the 10-second mark helps this (but no sooner than that will it work)
i'm trying to work out what the actual F**k is going on.
i'm not sure if it has any bearing on it but the idle is set quite high, around 1100-1200rpm
are there any Guru's on here that have encountered this before?
cheers.
