astra van starting

[joe el]

i have a p reg 1997 astra van w5tch struggles to start i have replaced the glow plugs all the filters checked battery and alternator and cracked off all injectors to relive any air also checked starter is fine just turns over for about 3 or 4 turns untill it fires as if there is no fuel

Worn bores and rings causing poor compression can start to show by poor starting.

[joe el]

any more suggestions?

slight air leak in the fuel system allowing the fuel to syphon back to the tank when the engine is turned off.

non return valve perhaps, but i would go with the compresion?

Check your oil...if there is water droplets in it then check your head gasket

[kwicky]

Ckeck for blockages in fuel inlet pipe
