HELP!.. recently I have cleaned my panel filter and wiped my AFM with a cloth. Now once i have done this the car seem to have problems starting. I turn my key and nothing happens, no noise at all but after a few turns the car cranks and shes going again. This only happens after leaving the car overnight when the engine is cold.

Can anyone explain why?

i dont know if this helps but my car was having trouble starting when cold but that was the battery. i replaced it and now its fine. it sounds like you might have done something to it when you cleaned the filter and AFM??? might just be a coincidence. my car seems to be one problem after another just got my clutch fixed and now my water pump has died. its getting rather annoying.

Try cleaning the ground wire in the engine bay. I've had the same kinda problem where the starter motor would just click, click and nothing would happen. After lots of troubleshooting a found that the ground wire in the engine bay was so dirty it was heating up and not connection properly. was only making 12.6 at the battery and 13.6 at the alternator. She starts with one turn of the key now.

Pushead: the starter motor earths through its brushes, and if they are significantly worn, the car will only start intermittenly. See if tapping the starter with a hammer helps, if that is the problem - u need an auto electrician or someone who knows what they are doing to rebuild it, usually doesn't cost much, but its well worth it - your starter will feel like a new one :(

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
