Cold start issue- fuel pump?
#1
Hi wondering if anyone knows of a quick fix. When I start my car it has a lumpy idle and a lot of smoke but it's been getting progressively worse over the last few months. Glow plugs were changed (well- 3 of them anyway) no effect. One peculiarity i'm noticing now is after starting when it's going through it's lumpy smokey phase the accelerator pedal is very stiff and takes a bit of force to move. Now I am a logical person and know the pedal connects directly to the fuel pump (Lucas) but my knowledge of fuel pumps and their working is minimal so does anyone have any suggestion where the problem may be? Is there a single component or adjustment that could cure this- the pedal is not stiff and moves freely before start up btw
