Here's what's going on. Just recently after the temperature seemed to drop between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius, my car is fighting to get started. after three tries the car will start. I let it run for five minutes and stopped the engine. When I tried starting again it starts up perfectly. It's been doing this every day for the last week or so.

Today it's a balmy 15 degrees Celsius outside, I haven't touched the car for two whole days and the car started up perfectly this afternoon.

Any ideas where I should start?

 

Is the fuel pump kicking on? It may be going out and taking a minute to build up pressure

 

Im having a similar issue..its not bad just seems that since its been coolng off the car doest want to start right up (it used to start within 1-2 turn overs) i wouldnt say its havimg "problems" starting..just not as easy as it used to be.

 

any codes??? sounds like crankshaft position sensor to me

 

Its not a pump issue for me..i can smell te gas if i keep cutting it off too early..no codes..it did it on the cooler nights of the summer when i had it too..

 

might be a vacuum leak somewhere

 

just a random thought have u had battery and starter tested?

 

I finally get some time tomorrow to take it into the garage and poke around. Car worked fine all day today.

 

hmm..battery may be possible.no idea how old it is..im leaning aginst vaccum leak..its only a problem on start up..ill get my bttery tested at lunch tomorrow...

 

X2 mine is having that and thats what my problem is haha
