Subject:Not starting easily
From:Corey Deahl

Hello all,

I'm new here and glad to be part of something larger than myself! I just
bought a 1986 syncro westy (which I've wanted since I was 16), and it has
had the SVX conversion done. I believe it was installed by Rocky Mountain
Westy. Anyway... It hasn't been starting very easily the last 3 days,
because 3 days ago I was underneath fiddling around with the cruise control
sensor. I'm not saying that's what did it, and here's a little more
history... since I bought it, it's had the O2 sensor light on the dash lit
up (running beautifully), and the guy I bought it from said it had been
like that since he had replaced the engine at Rocky Mountain Westy, and
they told him it was fine. Since 3 days ago, the light has gone off, the
idle is lower and it will stall sometimes when I come to or near a stop.

Any ideas on where to start?

Thanks in advance, and I'm glad to be here.

Corey
