Hi all,

Call me fussy but when I start my car (when engine is cold) it cranks over staright away (like in less than a second).

When the engine is at normal temp and I turn it off an then back on it takes like 3 seconds to crank it over..

Any one else have this happen to them? Can it be fixed to start like is was cold?

Thanks in advance.

Rob

Mine takes about 3 jabs of the throttle to get it kicked over regardless of hot/cold however that could having something to do with my larger fuel pump and also a battery which was "revived" not long ago when it probably should have been replaced :D

Robo your problem is completely normal mait and i wouldn't worry about it.

The reason behind it is because on a cold start there's a lot less lubrication then on a warm start. I've been driving a Ford XF on carbies and on a cold start its takes about 20 seconds to get the bitch to kick.. Yet on a warm start its instant. So dont stress.

Mines a 97 GTS25T and I have a similar thing, although 3 seconds is really a bit of an exaggeration. When I start the car in my garage first thing it fires up instantly, but if I've been driving around for a while yeah it takes about 1 - 1.5 seconds to actually ignite. I notice this even more so when ive been doing several short trips consecutively i.e. to the bank --> to the servo --> to the shops. I have no idea why this happens but I don't think its a problem. I'm probably going to get a bigger battery though!

Hi,

I have same problem with my 97 Gtst. Starts fine when cold, but has a problem after short trips etc. down to shop or servo. usually takes 2 or 3 goes before it starts.

I have mentioned it to my mechanic, and need to look into it. I just replaced the Fuel Filter as the car had started to stall (Auto). Was hoping it would fix both problems, but the warm start issue remains.

i got a 94gtst and mine does the same thing, it's to do with the idle, your idles at what 650-700, and on cold at 1500 or something like that, because it's so low it takes time for the system to get goin, when mine is warm and doin short trips after the 4-5 stop mine is a real pain in the ass to start, so i general leave it running. If you adjust your idle right as high as it will go, it doesn't do it.

P.s my mate s13 silvia does the same thing, and that does take 3 seconds to start

U have to actually touch the go pedal to make it start??

I got a 044 bosch pump and if u turn the key to 2 and let it prime for a few seconds then it start easily without having to touch the go pedal hot or cold.

I don't "have" to touch the throttle. I turn the ignition on until the fuel pump cuts out (~5sec) and then as I kick it over I press the throttle twice. I find if I just turn the key it takes an extra few seconds to kick over thats all.

I've only had to do this since I removed the standard r33 GTS-t pump and replaced it with a Bosch 040.

This saturday i'm getting that "idle" issue fixed (cutting the ground wire from the ECU and grounding it to the chassis somewhere). So I guess this means that the fuel pump will be working @ 100% all the time, not sure what impact that will have on anything else.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
