Citroen Repair Questions and Answers
Question:
1991 Citroen AX 1000 cc mileage: 100,000. Hi, this
is my problem. When I start the car in the morning
I pull the choke fully open, then the car starts but it
stalls and I can’t start it again unless I close the
choke and turn the engine for along time with the pedal
down all the way, (it’s not always working) while I’m
trying I often hear backfires. I might get along
with it but this is my wife's car and she cannot do it
every morning. Thanks for your advice.
Answer: Your car may be ready for a major
tune-up including spark plugs, plug wires, distributor
cap, rotor, fuel filter and air filter. Also,
perform a fuel pump pressure test. Clean the choke
linkage on the carburetor and make sure that the choke
mechanism works properly.
