Need help with a 2008 Ford Rocam 1,3 that is hard to start when cold
Hi all i recently bought a non runner Bantam with high mileage and decided
to completely overhaul the engine, now i am experiencing 2 problems, not
sure if its related.
Problem 1
the bakkie is hard to start when the engine is cold, it cranks normal, and will
start after cranking for a while, once it starts then it starts normal, it idles
normal no miss fire, but when you rev it sometimes revs cleanly and other
times it wil struggle to rev and it will ping. i have noticed that when i spray
petrol in the throttle body it does start easier. i have replaced the water temp
sensor,fuel filter and did a compression test. yet it still does the same thing.
problem 2
the radiator fan does not work, and someone tried to connect the fan
straight, thus it is on the whole time. could this cause the hard start issue?
hope someone can shed some light
