Ha ha, nice try Jester, but I am still one up on you. ;-) :D

Duh! Do you think I am going to believe that my nice burgundy Terrano is the same as someone else's nice burgundy Hiace van? Go pull the other one! :p :D

That's a bit harsh. Up to your old tricks again, tweak'e? :-(

I never said or meant to imply that one looked or was better than the other, just that they look different enough for any fool to see that they aren't the same vehicle even if they are the same colour.

177003 2003-09-24 08:56:00 It won't be the gearbox. One of the gear changes in mine is a bit sticky but, whilst it creates friction on the turbine in the torque convertor, the engine flywheel seems to keep going normally so there is no tendancy to stall.

I think we can also rule out the summer/winter switch, because most manufacturers did away with summer/winter switches in the early 90s. I would also doubt the fuel pump, because if the relay is not working, then it would fail to build up enough fuel pressure to start the engine at all.

I would agree that it's most likely to be a carburation problem, or possibly the leads. Perhaps the distributor would be worth a look as well?

177004 2003-09-24 10:32:00 Is this 323 a BG or BF or BH or BA model. Iam gessing it it either a BG or BH also is it injected or carburettered? I am gessing it is an electronic carburetter wich can give MUCH TRUBBLE. Is there any fast idle when it is first started cold? as the IAC valve {fast idle} also play up you can't get 2nd hand ones but you can modify them. if you say what it is & what is happing I might be able to help you . Rember I can't see or here what you can Stick (204)
