Tin shed difficult to start/stalling.

Yep, it's the berlingo again...

I changed the oil the other day, only to discover the sump plug was held in with ptfe tape, apparently the thread had been stripped from the sump.

Anyway, since fiddling with that she's been stalling and more difficult to start when cold, but starts when you give it some welly.

The oil is the right stuff and there's not to much.
Battery is charged, and charging fine.

So I'm thinking it's either fuel delivery or spark, any thoughts?

First stop is a general visual check of all the sensors and pipes especially check the coolant temperature sensor is connected.

1.6 16v petrol.

There's nothing obviously broken/unplugged, no faults showing.

Did you disturb the crankshaft position sensor wires at all ?

EGR valve sticking open or the crank position sensor.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I'll give the crank sensor a wiggle in the morning, I'd've thought it'd've shown up as an error though?
