Hi guys,

I hope someone could tell me why my 930 wont start when cold? I have to keep the revs up between 2-3000rpm until temp guage starts to move, then she's fine!

The car is running rich, so I guess it was adjusted rich to make it start in the cold! (maybe by the prevoius owner as a quick fix!) My problem is now that i have had it fully serviced, the mixtures have now been adjusted to what they should be. This has made cold starting a right pig! The car is a 87-88 US spec car if that makes any difference,done 50k miles, with the smog unit removed and a de-cat. The car spent most of its life in the sunshine state, then 6 years in Holland so it cant be the British weather!

Many thanks
Simon Ravenhill
 
You mean it will start but not run until it has warmed up a little.
It is most likely the mixture as you mention, and related to the choke.

I don't know how it is controlled on your car, but you need to look at that.
Maybe someone else can comment.
