    Hello! I am new here in this forum! I own a VW Corrado since last summer and have been working on its full reconstruction! Probably tomorrow I will post some pics of the whole process, if I have no work at the office (sure I don't :lol: ).


    I have read almost all topics about the problem I would like to explain, but only one has been found about it and did not get to any solution...


    The problem:

    when starting up (only for the first time, and only for about 5-10seconds) it seems the engine works with 3 cylinders. Sounding like 'trac, trac, trac, trac,,,,' at about 300-600rpm. If I push accelerator pedal down, exhaust sounds like there is too much fuel in it, like little explosions (very little).

    It happens for about 5-10secs, and then WOW! it begins to idle correctly.






    When does it happen?

    No matter if it the weather is cold, or it is warm; no matter if the engine is cold, or it is warm....

    It can happen anytime, or can not happen for a couple of days... but it is more likely to happen when the car has been off for about 3-5hours. (but not for less than 15minutes, for example.)





    Thinks to have in mind:
    -engine fully rebuilt, 30.000kms now
    -k-jetronic revised by a bosch injection system specialist with the following veredict:
    Fuel pressure OK
    Plate OK
    -ISV OK (engine goes worse if disconnected)
    -MICROSWITCH OK
    -Temp sensor OK (resistance tested OK)
    -Cold injector OK (at least it gets electricity)
    -ignition timing OK
    -CO OK










    So here is what I have been trying to solve for the last............... 6 months? And can't find a reason for this [xx(]




    Any help will be welcome [:*:]
