Hi Guys, there's a niggling issue with my 2007 VVT

It always takes 2 attempts when trying a warm start. :blink:

It'snot really too much of a problem as when it doesn't catch straight away, I simply switch off and try again .... and it fires up no problem on the 2nd try.

any idea's on what the problem may be :huh:

Oh Dear - but not supprised no one's replied .. :(

with that electronic ignition control system, multi-sensor and 2 coil pack setup ..... it looks like it's plug-in diagnostics is the only way to go.

if it gets to be a pain or other symptoms develop, will pursue it further.

can't find any web info on the 2005 - 2009 M13AA Variable Valve Timing engine :blink:

Mine's similar but intermittent. I can't replicate it easily. Its if its cooled for an hour or so, the starters sticking i think. Hardly surprising really considering the crap its been dunked in.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!
