[urq] Data point for hard starts when hot....

[Louis-Alain Richard]

Some of you are experiencing long hot starts, a thing I've never had
problems with.

 

But this car has a fine hearing.. Yesterday, first hot day of the year,
the car was nearly impossible to re-start after being parked for 15 to
30 minutes. I've then spent some time to chase an hypothetical vacuum
leak or anything that would cause that and I've finally found something
interesting: the injector cooling fan was not working ! Thinking of it,
it's been a while since I've heard it. The switch was good, the relay
under the dash was clicking, but the fan was quiet. It turned to be a
flaky connector at the fan itself. 

 

So today, which is as hot as yesterday, will prove or contradicts that
this fan has a real role in helping the hot starts. Fingers crossed.
