Hi everyone,
I have a Seat Toledo V5 -01, and when it is cold outside it have troubles to start
The engine starts perfectly at once I turned the key, but then the rpm is really low, so it have serious problems to keep the engine running. It stalls if I don´t rev it up a bit
For every time I try to restart without giving the pedal a punch the engine gets worse... It doesn´t ignite so fast as the prevoius attempt!
It´s really easy though to start the engine by pressing the gas-pedal once after ignition.
I´m no mechanic so and I would like to have your opinions so I know what to change if that is necessary.
It feels like the engine doesn´t know its cold outside!
I even thought there should be an automatic shoke (don´t know if that is the right english word for it) that would be triggered if the engine is cold that, will hold the rpm above 1000 or something for a while. That doesn´t happend
Best Regards / Rikard
