Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) VERY hard start when crankin

[AOysaed]

I have a 99 24V.

VERY hard(impossible sometimes) to start when mid hot mostly. I ve installed the latest flash updates to the computer, put a troggle switch on the FASS, so I can give 0 pressure, removed the spring, and done EVERYTHING I have read in threads about the matter, but just the same. The strange thing is; When pulled by another car, or rolling downhill, the engine fires on an instant when the clutch is released... ?

Any codes? That is a common symptom of a dying VP44.

"fuel pump ignition timing" only code

Isn't that 0216? If so, start shopping for a VP.
