Welcome Patrick! (I know you've posted before) For those that don't know,
Mr. Whale is an old-school Peugeot tech in the mold of Peugeot Pete and
Brian Holm. When he gives advice, TAKE IT.
Speaking of old school... I'm having a bit of a hard time at cold start.
It (My N9T) eventually starts, but it takes usually three tries. I have in
the course of maintenance in the last year replaced the
cap/rotor/wires/plugs (Bosch Silbers), the , air filter, AIC and FPR. The
FPR *really* helped out drivability - especially cold drivability! I have
also tested the NTC, thermotime and most other sensors. Warm start is
perfect. Idle and drivability are great. MPG is decent (~20 all city, sane
driving).
I'm now thinking the cold start injector. Coming from the Toyota 7M engines
with a very similar Bosch-L setup. We often "over there" dismiss the cold
start injector all-together as any 7M in decent shape doesn't need the cold
start injector. I've never heard of one being replaced in that crowd.
However, all engines are different and the N9T is not the same as the 7M.
When these engines were brand new, did they start with no foot on gas with
one turn? I'm more than willing to test and replace what's necessary. I
have all the books. I could (and should) just go through their flow-chart
diagnostics. I was just wondering if they did start on a sub freezing day
with one turn and no foot on the throttle.
