Xciting 500 / Re: Temperamental start fuel injected
« on: December 10, 2010, 08:37:53 AM »
thanks for reply
..the battery check ok as I can leave boost charger in place whilst trying to start.
 I sometimes suspect the starter motor is running a little slow..but the verdict is out on that!
It will usually start after I have had 3-4 goes with  a minute or 2 break with key off so that injection prime pump restarts each time I reignite. It just seems not enough fuel is getting thru for ignition.
Is there a fuel filter somewhere accessible ??
Thanks guys,

Xciting 500 / Temperamental start fuel injected
« on: December 10, 2010, 12:51:18 AM »
Hi Fellas ....I have had my Xciting 500i for a bout 3 years now with 16000km.
Its become a little temperamental on the start in our warm climate.
Turns over ok.
Prime pump seems to work ok (by sound only).
Seems to be initial fuel/air mix..tried all sorts of combo starts but nothing consistent works.
Sometimes taking 3-4 separated attempts before it fires up.
I have changed the plug and checked air filter so that is eliminated. I am now suspecting the injector itself.
Does the stuff u add to fuel work ...has anybody had this problem ?
Could it be a sensor that interfaces with the ECU ?
Any light on the situation appreciated.
P.S once up and running its still a hot cat and the best fun machine ever.

Hi Mark and others.
I live in Brisbane Au. Very surprised to learn only 12 Xc 500 in UK.
I brought my 500i 2 months ago privately, only had 1200km on it . I believe it the very first sold here in Queensland.
Terrific machine, just love it . Now done 3000km plus with many more to come.
