Hi,
Occasionally I've had trouble starting my car up, having to take 2-3 attempts to get it going. It sounds like it's turning but just won't 'fire up'. It's happened to me about half a dozen times now. On a couple of occasions I've had to give it some gas before it would fire. Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what it is?
Cheers, Toby
P.S. I have the clutch fully depressed every time I start the car

It has been an intermitant "common" problem with some Newage STi's from MY03 on and the occasional MY02

There a three possible Improvements, no single one though seem to fix all. IIRC

1) Sparkplugs Replaced
2) Injectors replaced
2) ECU replaced

IIRC AFAICR IMHO etc etc etc.

I had this a couple of times but i fixed it by waiting for the fuel pump to prime properly.

I found it only did it very first thing when i tried starting the car as soon as I inserted the key. You should be able to hear the fuel pump for a couple of seconds when you turn the key to the second point. Wait for the noise to stop then try starting it.

Hope this helps
