Re: '90 Turbo 200 -> REAL hard to start ?
There are a number of threads about things like this on the Audiworld T44 forum:
http://forums.audiworld.com/v8/
A few things to suspect:
- Dirty injectors - Run a bottle of Techron injector cleaner in a tank of gas.
- Failed pressure check valve on the fuel pump - replace pump
- Fuel filter needs replacing

Try replacing the temperature switch, it may be giving a false signal to the
ECU

'90 Turbo 200 -> REAL hard to start ?
But once it starts all's well. Even after it finally gets started [maybe
5 secs of crank time] it takes an equal time to finally get up to normal
idle rpms. Sometimes a puff of white smoke is emitted out the exhaust on
startup too.
The oil pressure, temp and alternator gauges all show OK and the
battery's new.
The car has about 350K miles on it but other than the hard starting runs
great.
It's been recently tuned-up with no improvement.
What's wrong and how can it be cured ?
Appreciatively,

Re: '90 Turbo 200 -> REAL hard to start ?
did the tune up adjust the co level? the co has a major part in starting the
car , i have adjusted the co on a few 200s with quicker starting as a
result, it is most likely adjusting slightly will help, if it doesnt turn
the opposite direction be sure not to adjust it too much and do it with the
car running so you dont have no starting at all,

Re: '90 Turbo 200 -> REAL hard to start ?
Courtney,
Check out the troubleshooting info at Scott Mockry's web site:
www.sjmautotechnik.com
Try pulling the fault codes and see if anything turns up there.
If the car sits unused for a couple days, does the hard starting go away?
(fuel pressure leakdown likely)
On a different tack how did Mutiny fare during Frances?
Cheers!
