This morning i tried to start my car and it wouldn't start. It sounded like the car tried to start, and that was it. Everything sounded normal, just the car didn't start. I stopped after 2-3 seconds, and after that i turned the key back into the off position and gave it a few seconds. I then tried it once more and this time the car fired up. I bought my car around mid august of 08, so the car isn't more than 4 months old. I could only think maybe it was too cold outside? But this morning was a lot warmer than last week. I was even driving the car around last night and it was fine. So i don't think it's my battery as the lights and everything came on, the only other thing i can think of is something with my spark plug. I haven't had time to take a look into it yet, but does anyone else have any ideas?

 

Yes this is a common problem with the EVO X mine does this 1-3 times a month. It comes down to the factory tune being so stupidly rich.

 

o really... gahhh.. I just hope it doesn't damage the car in the long run.

 

Same thing happened to me for the first time over the holidays. I also bought my car in August.

 

When you purchased the car doesn't mean a whole lot, how many miles are on the car? It could be a number of things, but definitely see what the spark plugs look like; it's a reasonable place to start.

FWIW, I've never had any starting troubles. It was in the negatives (Fahrenheit) a few weeks ago and I was able to get it started, first try, and it was -4* F and the car had been sitting all night.
