When I turn the key into ignition, it's silent and takes a while before it cranks. I would say it takes about 5-6 seconds then the engine will turnover and start up fine. Can anyone tell me why this is hapening? Thanks.

 

I'd like to know too. I had it happen to me on sunday!

 

bump for an answer and a little piece of mind?

 

Do you hear your fuel pump prime right away?

 

sometimes yes, sometimes no

 

please help someone!

 

Where do any of your cars idle after it does start up.

So far, to me it sounds like a fuel up that's headed in the failing direction.

Another thought. It could also be a faulty main relay. The relay definitely controls the fuel delivery so you guys might also want to follow up on that.

 

my cold RPM's are around 1500, then drop to 7-800. IT's pretty normal. Sometimes it happens in the morning, sometimes it doesn't it's quite odd. If I release the clutch and push it slightly sideways as I'm starting the car instead of STRAIGHT down, it'll catch and fire right up. The fuel pump clicks on right away, so I doubt it's that.

 

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I want an answer.
