I have a Ford Sierra 1.8CVH which is now regularly letting me down.
I have managed to establish the pattern of usage that 'reliably' causes a breakdown. This would be:
Run the car on a long enough journey. Park it for about 30 mins Re-starting when warm ALWAYS results in the engine stopping after approx 1/4 mile. No fuel is delivered to the carburettor. The engine can only be re-started by using a manuai priming device (Apparently in the standard AA Patrol toolkit)and then the car will complete it's journey fine.
Starting from hot (after parking less than 10 minutes) or from cold, there is NEVER a problem. It seems a problem only when the car is hot and is left more than 15 minutes.
The problem occurs both with the 'fuel accumulator' in-line AND with it bypassed (see
Thanks in advance...
