Greetings fellow T-3ers. I'm having a cold start problem when my 69
FI Fastback. When the car sits for a day or more, it takes 3 cranks
to fire her up. First attempt, the fuel pump fires up, but the engine just
cranks with no signs of wanting to start. Second attempt usuallt gets
a sputter. Third attempt, she fires up. The car does not have this
problem when it is warm, or when it us used daily - she'll start up on
the first try after sitting overnight if she was running the day before.
Any other T-3ers with FI experience this problem? Is this normal for
1960's vintage FI? I'm used to todays FI cars that fire right up no
matter what the conditions are. The previous owner had all fuel hoses
and the fuel pump replaced. I have a new fuel filter to install as of yet-
not sure if this will help.
Any info/advice will be greatly appreciated.
BTW, is there any T-3ers out there who live in NJ? Does anybody
know if there are any VW shows/gatherings in NJ coming up?
Thanx,
Keith Ruff
