Steve Q Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Could be glow olugs or injectors. You could also look at getting a diagnostic check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3BOBBY Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Cheap one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliffcoggin Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The cheap readers are notoriously unreliable. A better bet would be a professional diagnosis, though even they are not infallible. If that proves inconclusive we shall have to start from first principles and consider every symptom of the engine's behaviour. Do let us know the outcome.
