This morning, my RA would not start up. Took a couple tries, and just cranked the hell out of it and it finally started up. Once it warmed up, it started fine. HELP? Car has 6k miles on it, k&n panel filter and just did exhaust setup 3in catback

 

don't worry it happens. Mine does it once in awhile. Especially Cold to warm temp. I just push gas once while cranking and she'll start after acouple.

 

There's 2-3 big threads about this. It's a common issue. What seems to work for some people so far is turning your car on to the accessory position and letting it sit there for a few seconds and then starting it. It is believed to be a fuel pump issue, but this is just what other users have found.

I agree. This is working for me. Since I started doing this I haven't ran into the start up problem yet.

 

Not sure if this matters, but right when the car actually did crank up, the information display flashed "service required" real quick and then it went away. No check engine lights or anything else after that. I talked to the dealership and they told me one of the "recalls" is an ecu reflash. I havent gotten this done, have any of you? Thanks for the advice, makes me feel alot better. I was sweating that. haha

 

Only thing it really causes is embarrassment when someone sees you in your nice fancy car that is having trouble starting.

Its normal

 

Had the car since July and have never had any start issues... till I was leaving work this afternoon It was 20*C too

 

Yeah it's weird. I had that problem when I first bought the car but I haven't had that problem since the first month...

 

Yeah I haven't had any issues in quite a while either, but it happened fairly often the first few months.

I am not in a cold climate either. 75 degrees every day, about 70 in the morning, hmm

 

This. /thread.

I've had numerous hard-start/no-start issues multiple times in the past, since adopting this habit - I have not had any starting issues. .

 

turn switch to 'on'
let all clicking cease
start

 

Just had a relay recall done to correct this problem. Has not happened since, but it has been warmer out as of late.

Generally speaking if you turn your car to the on position and wait 2-3 seconds before you start cranking no one has had the problem happen again.

Otherwise if it fails to start just keep cranking until it starts or you will flood the engine and contaminate the oil with fuel.

 

why is this asked all the time its in manual that it does it.
