Difficulty starting after sitting for a while
If i let my car sit for an extended period of time say more then 2 days it has a hard time starting. I have to let it crank about 2-3x times longer to start. Normally it will start right up and cranks for a secornd or so. After shes been sitting for a while it takes about 4-5 seconds. Thanks in advance!
The car is a stock d16z6

Yeah, happens to my D16Y8 everytime I let it sit for over a day or two. Done it since I bought it with 15K on the clock.

Turn the ignition on ...wait and listen for the whir and click from the fuel pump and relay, then engage the starter........this should save a few cranks ...?

Update, the proplem is getting worse now. Every morning it seems now it needs to crank longer then she used too. Im guessing its a fuel filter and am gonna try that first because i have everything off anyhow to get at it. Any sagestions would be apreciated it. Shes a d16z6 with close to 100k on her, Driven like i stole it 
not that it matters im sure........

Re: Difficulty starting after sitting for a while (nocternaldragon)
when my car did that it needed a new starter and solenoid. But when i changed the starters....the one i took out was COMPLETELY different then the one i put in. The one i put in works like a champ tho. maybe the one i took out was just a canadian POS. i dunno. but yea...it was my starter when i had that problem.

Good to know, and i just happened to pick one up at the salvage yard yesterday 
i doubt that my proplem but ill keep it in mind. It sounds like its cranking over just find just taking a while to turn over.
