Guest XRSIXT Guests Posted 14/05/04 06:45 AM Share Posted 14/05/04 06:45 AM Hey there,Just wondering if anyone has had issues with starting their cars? If it doesnt fire on the first fllick of the key, some people have told me that their car can take upto 5-10 seconds of cranking!! Let me know if you have had this issue. My car hasnt done it yet, but several of my friends have.. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10729-hard-start/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took some getting used to. There's been a fair bit of discussion on this if do a search for it.

It was a dog to get going from then, nearly like it was flooded.

I've learnt that from a few times just missing the start and sitting there for the next few minutes winding thinking I'm gonna have to get towed. I'm not exactly sure but I think it gets a gut load of fuel on start up and if you miss the start it kinda floods it's self.

It won't start, but apparently resets some 'doovy whatzit'.Then, start as normal. Was happening to me quite frequently some months back. Till I tried the tip. Hasn't done it since.

cooltint Member 686 Member For: 22y 1m 9d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast QLD Posted 14/05/04 01:49 PM Share Posted 14/05/04 01:49 PM Mine does it also. But what I think is really cool is the auto disengage starter motor, just hold the key on start with the engine running and the starter will not engage. Now that's what I call smart thinking. Try it sometime.Big AL Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/10729-hard-start/#findComment-122422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
