[alchimist]

hi, bin aus düsseldorf. ich habe trans sport baujahr 93/96
hatte ich mal ausversehen e10 mal betankt, seit dem motor macht probleme.
das war sowieso wenig menge. aber man hat sofort gemerkt das motor nicht gut angezündet hat.
ich hatte danach immer super voll betankt.
dann hatte ich start probleme... ich habe immer mit start spray gesprüht um zu starten.
bis das gar nicht mehr ging.

kennt ihr meine umgebung werkstatt eure vertrauens? die werkstatt trans sport auskennt?

i can also speak english if you are english natives

Translation...😉

I'm from Dusseldorf. I have a trans sport built in 93/96
I once accidentally refueled e10 times, since the engine causes problems.
that was not a lot anyway. but you immediately noticed that the engine did not light up well.
I always had a full tank afterwards.
then i had starting problems... i always sprayed with start spray to start.
until that didn't work anymore.

do you know my environment workshop your trust? the workshop trans sport knows?

In the United States E10 is common and does not cause problems.
Do you have a check engine light on?

oh?? is that so?? but here in germany some forum said it is not suitable to tank e10 to my type...anyway now i just cant check anything cause my car batterie is empty too.....

 

[alchimist]

im just waiting where can i bring my car to check it.... i post also another forum to ask about a workshop who knows about pontiacs / american cars

 

[alchimist]

and above that i forget to tell you guys it was one time i could not start motor before i wrongly tanked!!
i let check a mecanic a friend recommended and under his suggestion we change sparkling plugs and sparkling modul and also one of the sensor i just cant remember. when we are finish that issue. i could start motor again, but not without start-spray.
my mecanic cant tell why... as long as my car parked longer as 30 min. i have to start with spray.... is that maybe cause of issue???

he said the car is old and just drive as long as possible. and further repair will be not worth.
so i dont wanna bring my car to him again.

Did your mechanic do a fuel pressure test?

well, i dont know. is that important?

You stated you needed spray to start the vehicle. That's a fuel delivery problem.

All cars are about the same, ( fuse, relay, fuel filter, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator) any mechanic should be able to troubleshoot, parts for American cars in Germany is a different story, maybe ask a mechanic on a US military base to help?

Your mechanic should have a fuel pressure gauge
