Hey all,

just got a question about my zook,

The last week I have noticed that its getting harder and harder to start in the morning.
This morning it wouldn't start at all.
when it does start, it runs really rough for about 1 minute or 2, then runs fine, and will start fine for the rest of the day.
Its 1.3 with a single point vitara injection on it,

any and all help is appreciated

if it was mpfi i would say it was leaking injectors. i dont kno how much fuel the single point would leak out and if it would flood it over time.

might just be the plugs a bit foweled (sp) up. All single point systems i have see tend to run rich and chew s/plugs.

Maybe check you temp switch might not be picking up the car is cold.
i think its a fuel problem

have you ever adjusted your valves? does the compression sound even while cranking?
