hi, sorry havet use this b4 first time, ihave a s40 t4 1998 , have prombles starting it, have to keep cranking it to start, when its running it fine, have try plugs,, any help,, thanks

sorry mate to help you we kinda need more info, do you start it eventually or does it refuse to start? what have you done already have you checked for fueling probs? or the coil packs the more infor you give us fella the easier it is to come up with some help for ya

suggest you use the search function above for the title, poor starting, poor running, low power, loss of power, all the standard items ahve been covered in detail. Once you've read these and positively confirmed all on your car, get back to us with detail of the remaining condition including age, and service history of the car so we can help further.. BEst of luck... (it will be something simple...do the basics first, but be methodical and logical..)

Could be losing pressure in the fuel rail and then having to to pull fuel through by the pump. Try priming the fuel pump a few times and then cranking it. What were the plugs like? When it does fire do you get plumes of black smoke?

hi, car is 1998 72k on clock full history, have change plugs . it does start bount 5 to 10 seconds cracking when its running its fine great car, if prime it couple of times starts up first time,, so thought fuel pump, have change that 2day , still the same told check for leaking injectors they seem ok, is it possable fuel regulater not holding pressure????

If you are losing pressure in the fuel rail then it's unlikely it's the pump. The fact that the pump manages to fire it up in a few seconds shows it's working fine. Anything on the fuel rail basically, as you say leaking injectors are possible but there's also the fpr would be my likely suspect. Small amount of leakage can quickly depressurise the system. I take it there are no signs of fuel leakage around the outside of any of the injectors?
