Starting problem.

Postby iwanagofast » Fri Mar 27, 2009 9:26 am

Twice in the last week we've had trouble starting the 30. She'll start on a rolling jump start(just a little roll down the slope of the driveway) and it'll start first time after that while shes still warm.
I'm hoping its only plugs and leads but could it be something else?

Is it swinging over ok ? or does it sound a bit slow ? We often find when the starter sounds slow the problem usually is a bad engine earth , if it is swinging over ok check the distributor cap for condensation and cracking , best plugs are NGK again We find some others don't seem to suit ,
