Hard Start after stalling FIXED
Hey fellas wasnt too sure where to put this so it ended up in general. I bought my d40 about 1 month ago and has been mostly trouble free. A small problem I have noticed is that when I stall it (not regularly but still getting used to new clutch after the old patrol clutch) it is quite hard to restart. Car kicks over fine and revs to about 800rpm but then dies in the arse all in about 3 seconds. could continue to do this til the cows come home. The only way I am able to get it to stay running is to give it a bit of a rev while kicking it over. it seems to cough an fart its way to 3000 rpm and then revs out freely. This only works sometimes. It then runs fine. Any ideas on what this could be? car was dealer purchased so has 3 month stat warranty so getting it sorted by then would be great. Another thing i have noticed is that the clutch grab point it very far out as in right at the top of the peddle. Is this normal or could it be related? ie clutch still being engaged or something? any help would be appreciated. still getting used to these fancy new cars after upgrading from an old gq patrol.
some background info on car : 2007 d40 stx 4x4 Manual diesel. stock as a rock 70000kms
