hard start
HI guys
I'm a proud owner of a 5 cyl non turbo petrol engine 1995 Volvo 850 estate I sometimes experience difficulty in starting my car It sometimes realy fearfully jerks while cranking, but eventually does start after a couple of tries and once it starts it goes smoothly thereafter without a hitch Any idea what could be wrong and the cure? Thanks in advance |
fuel issue perhaps. Changed the filter lately? Might be worthwhile pulling the spark plugs too and having a look at them.
What do you mean by jerking? The entire car shakes violently? |
Thanks for your fast response
Yes the whole car almost shakes |
I would take a look at the engine mounts but hopefully one of the more experiences forum goers will chime in with some other suggetions.

If the engine runs smoothly after starting, I don't think the plugs or filter would be the issue - I'd doubt that they would cause the car to shake as you describe.
I'd look towards the starter itself and the teeth that it engages. |
I've just joint the forum 2 days ago and am feeling already so nice with all you guys with suggestions to my Volvo problems.
Thanks so much I haven't changed the fuel filter of late but the plugs and oil filter have already changed them a couple of times, as well as the High Tension leads which previously did have a current leak. |
