    Car start only with throttle pedal down

    I finally got my car back. After one week of testing, it seems that now the issue is gone. The garage only changed the "idle regulator valve" (not sure about the technical english right term, sorry!). So nice to have a car that is perfectly running! :smile: Again, thank you for your help!

    Car start only with throttle pedal down

    thanks for your answer! It appears the fuel pump is running. All vacuum tubes have been replaced this year. I brought her again to the garage. I'm waiting for the diagnostic. I'll keep you informed!

    Car start only with throttle pedal down

    Hmm... I'm afraid that my car still have the issue :frown: Now, it won't start everytime. Could that be a sensor? or rather the main relay? Symptoms are : when I try to start her, she nearly succeeds but immediately dies. Battery is brand new. thank you for your help (again!) !

Now, I have another issue : my car will only start if I press the throttle pedal. If I do, it will always start. If I...

    Paint

    my painting was based on a shoot of my car that I sent her (should retrieve it and post it...) it took about less than 3 weeks : in fact there is a varnish on the top and it was long to get it dry..

    Paint

    She's actually an art restorator, so using oil or any other mediums doesn't impress her. I saw a lot of her work on different paintings, it's really cool !

    After more than a month waiting for my car to be repaired, I finally could get it back. The new gearbox (20'000km) came from France, and I'm not sure why they took 3 months to bring the piece. I drove it from tuesday through thursday, to see if all was done correctly. Seems to be the case, the...
