Spice tourer going of prime

alanaslan · 19th October 2020, 00:09

The Spice Tourer has been with me for 51 weeks now. It has developed an interesting problem. It is an oil burning car, in the mornings when I go out I have to put the ignition on for about twenty five seconds before trying to start her. Doing this she usually fires first or second piston over the top.
If I don’t do this she will crank over and not fire up.
Occasionally when cold she will stall. Only within three mins of being started.
It is a fuel starvation problem as the under bonnet pump is thumping away to pressurise the fuel lines.
Suggestions please.
I know I am missing something but can’t put my finger on it.
