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.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
