Guest george Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Hi, its the same problem many people seem to have had. f reg mfi xr3i cabbie, it starts ok when cold, but when hot it wont start. ive put a new starter on as this seems to be the most common problem, but it still wont start! engine turns over and nearly gets there but not quite. it was working fine last summer, then i took it off the road, it only developed this problem when i took it for a spin up the lane one day after it was sat for couple weeks in the garage. cheers George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
