Hello Dacia Forum fans
I'm the proud owner of a Dacia Duster 1.6 4WD, i bought the car new one year ago and now the car has 21.000Km on it. The car was runing perfectly and gave me no problems until last week when, one day, trying to start the car in the morning while trying to go to work, took longer than what is usual. Now my car never starts at the first time, i have to try once, twice, three times...sometimes more. The engine starts but he can't maintain the Revs. The car simply stops runing, and when i'm able to get it running i cannot just put first gear and drive, i have to wait for it to heat the engine up so that i can drive it otherwise, the car simply floods down and the smell of unburnt gasoline is just to much. I have to wait for it to heat the engine up and then it allows me to drive. If i don't do this procedure it just stops with what it seems to be a flooded engine. I've changed the oil and air filters, i've even changed the spark plugs, i've placed and aditiv on the gas tank to clean the fuel system but nothing helps. The strangest thing is that when the car is at the right temperature it runs normal.
Can anyone help me? Did it happened to someone else? I'm really desperate because of this and because the fuel consumption has increased due to this problem.
Hellllllllp!!!
