Starting issue..
Posted: Thu May 17, 2007 9:57 pm
I tried searching 3si, but I couldn't find anyone with this issue.
Sometimes when I try to start my car, if I just let it sit and turn over it doesn't start.
However, I have figured out, that if I just turn it over for about half a second and drop the key before it's actually started, it starts, lugs for like a second, and then is running fine.
It doesn't happen all the time. I thought it might have only been when it was hot outside, but it did it to me one morning as well. The problem does seem to be worse when it's hot though.
The starter turns over wonderfully the whole time.
Frankly the only things I can think of are ground/power, (but that would cause issues with the starter actually turning over not starting?), or maybe some fuel issue.
I understand pretty well how the car works, but being that I've only recently started working on my cars, my troubleshooting skills aren't developed yet.
