my car won't start up right away. help
 

Hey I have an Evo 9. recently the car won't start up right away, you need to hit the clutch and turn the ignition numerous amount of times for it to start. also its a little harder to start the car when its hot and easier to start when its cooler, but still it needs a little more than once to start.

I have already changed the mini battery for another new one, 600 cca, changed the alternator for a brand new one, and last but not least a brand new starter.

new battery
new starter
new alternator

none of this worked, but at least i got all those new parts installed.

I am thinking it might be a sensor? anyone ever have this problem?

car starts mayb one minute to 10 minutes of tryin to start it. any advice.

I am also trying to sell my car but I can't unless this problem is solved. other than this, car is running perfect.

Why spend all that money before you know what's wrong with the car first?

battery i had to buy, but the starter and alternator was under the warranty

Have you changed the plugs? Maybe a CAS sensor.Does the car run fine when it starts? Fuel pump? Could be many things.

i haven't changed the plugs, sparks. i should though. once the car starts running, its fine. also when its hot outside, its harder to start. when its cooler its easier to start.

You got the dealer to give you a brand new starter and alternator free of charge and there was nothing wrong with them.Excellent work dealer must not know much about cars.:lol:

Ok change the plugs (gap to .024), do you have a flash?

i will def change the plugs, you mean as in spark plugs rite? sean ivey tuned it, but it was about 6 months ago, no problems.

well i know the guy who works there, he s the service manager so he hooked me up

anyone else have any advice besides changing the spark plugs? anyone else ever had this problem?

Does it crank but it doesn't start or is it not cranking at times? If it's the first case, you might want to check the fuel system, pump, pressure, injectors, making sure the right fuel pressure and fuel supply is present for engine start up. Just my advice since I have a montero with the same problem (starts fine when cold, takes a while when hot).

Sounds like bad grouding. Check the battery grounds
