Misfire on startup (2l 8v 2e)
Greetings
I have a mk1 2l 8v (2e). With every coldstart, there is a misfire/stutter. I keep it on a low idle (1500-2000) and it clears up within about 5 minutes when it reached operating temperature. For the rest of the day she will start up fine It is running on Dicktator and was tuned by JVS
I have replaced the following already :
Plugs (Car was serviced)
Fuel Pump
Fuel Injection Tank
Water Temp Sensor
Had the injectors and rail sent away for testing
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Misfire on startup (2l 8v 2e)
Sounds like you have issues with fuelrail pressure bleeding off and on first start the fuelrail takes a while beforeit is full again and all air out of fuel rail.
Check fuel pressure regulator on fuelrail andcheck at pump end that the non return check valve is present on pump outlet.

Check the crank sensor and its wiring.ReyQii1902 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:48 am Hii guys i fitted harness all was working fine but now im getting spark then all of a sudden it falls away and im not receiving any fuel on my injectors and the dictator only shows red constant light

I think you need to double check your wiring as per Dicktator drawing first. Sounds like you have something wired to the wrong place.
