Hey guys i am having problems with my car for some unknown reason it takes forever to start
I recently did over 1,000kms for a weekend trip and it hasnt been startin right ever since

Have changed Oil
Sparkies
Radiator coolant

I heard that maybe the injectors need to be cleaned?
Would this be the issue and can i clean them yourself?

could be that you filled up at a petrol station that has sh*t fuel and has blocked up your injectors. I suggest that you have your injectors cleaned by a professional so that you know that if the car is still hard to start then it definatly won't be the injectors at fault. normally if your injectors are dirty then the car will run rough as well. is this the case?

Does it run LPG??? My car can be a b**ch to start when it starts to get out of tune... Service and tune and it's as right as rain for the next few months.

Id definately say its an ignition problem (might need new leads) or thier might be something wrong with the fuel system too, when was the fuel filter and fuel pump last replaced? Also it could be dirty clogged up injectors.

Jesuz christ already, i see this too bloody offen in my trade, everyone has to play guessing games.

look ya never can be correct on advising wots wrong with it just by sayin i drove it up the road and came home and it dont go so well.

check ya fuel pressure, watch ya eyes though, unscrew a fuel line up front turn ignition on she should piss fuel out.

check ya spark does it seam to be "weak" or take a couple of cranks to engage a spark.

otherwise, when motor is runnin does the engine management light come on, if so computer is havin a disagreement with a sensor or wiring somewhere, just a matter of finding it have fun.

It detects mainfold pressure and adjusts the Idle up depending on the pressure

Check your fuel presure reg, I've seen that on a gas car, that ran gas, and petrol, I think if u change your fuel pressure reg, that might fix your problems .
