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.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
