Hey all, it looks like theres about to be a problem when I start my car. Car does start and run but I want to fix the problem before the issue gets worse. So when I clutch in and start I hear it spark but the motor starts to run after 2-3 seconds? Mind you my clutch is still in and I hold it til the motor is running, normally it should turn on away right when I ignition obviously...Is there a problem with my starter? Alternator? I replaced battery last year before my swap and put in new spark plugs and wires this summer. Any help would be appreciated!

 

It's not having a hard time crank up it cranks once then 3 seconds go by then the motor starts running... Like if it's a late feed. I also move to a colder climate like 30-40 degrees.

 

I have the same problem when the temp is under 40 degrees, been like that for years.

Not a charging issue for me or starter.

 

Is the fuel tank level around 1/4 tank or lower when this happens? If so, this is an extremely common problem that you should not be concerned about.

 

Nah fuel tank is more then half, I'm guessing it's the cold. I just wanted to make sure
If it's normal or not before my car won't start again. Weird how my friends LS starts up fast and fine when it's out cold when I'm parked inside.
