Martin Muggeridge Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I’ve a Street Ka 2005 44,000 miles . Never had problems until now. Start up has become difficult very hesitant as if mixture was too lean ( hunting?) Has been checked professionally all settings are ok . Engine management light on and comes on again after reset Have to reV engine for a Few minutes as will stall if I engage a gear—-.. difficult as engine wants to stall ! when warmed up after 2-3 mins revving at 3000 rpm everything runs perfectly. Local Garage specialists mystified as all setting perfect Any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 What fault code is being triggered when the EML is on? If mixture is too lean, that's often caused by a vacuum leak from a split vac pipe or PCV pipe around the inlet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Muggeridge Posted May 2 Author Share Posted May 2 Just now, Martin Muggeridge said: Thanks for your advice Tom . I’ll try a Ford Specialist with your advice re a vacuum leak .. The local garage highly regarded and rated , had the Ka for several days and admitted themselves beaten ! The difficulty was that as soon as the engine warmed up it performed faultlessly and you had to wait 3/4 hours before another attempt to diagnose could be made !
