Anthony Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 The VX started last night. With two fire extinuishers and two batteries. I have an issue with fuel delivery at start up, but the car ran for a few seconds to check for leaks and make sure we have something sensible for Roger to come and have a look at to bed cams in. I guess that was a milestone. Went home smiling and worrying about the SBD map in equal quantities It needed a dribble of petrol down the trumpets before it would run on its own, although clearly a mist of fuel via injectors ! Anyone anythoughts A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nifty Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Sorry, can't help Anthony but thought I'd offer my congratulations *thumbup* Keep off the straight and narrow 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Pargiter Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Hi Anthony From what I remember the standard SBD maps don't include a cold start as they were primarily aimed at race cars. This was the case 6 years ago so may have changed now. Also check the fuel pressure. Nick Mellow Yellow Vauxhall - I don't think so!!! 😬 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 😬 Thanks Chaps And yes it drinks blood, money and super unleaded in equal quantities On the fuel pressure all I can say is it has got lots of that ! Next task is to calibrate the stack dash to understand whats going on. I owe a debt of thanks to Mike E, who cleared up under the car - which I was going to do, and then hid my car which had me going for a few seconds ...
