Hi all,

About one in every twenty times I start my car the engine will turn over for about 10 seconds before firing up. This will happen with either a cold engine or a warm engine. Most of the time the engine turns over & fires up after about one second. Just wonderd what might be causing this long starting trouble. Car is an STI 5 with 70k on the clock. Was thinking about changing the plugs. Maybe that would sort it.

Cheers,

Buy a CockLink ... it helps start cars even if the battery is not connected It does really magic things

Seriously, all cars do this ....... not sure why?

What oil do you use? (nothing **** about this question i.e performing a dance around your car when doing an oil change)

Don't know how all cars do this

I've never had a car not start first time unless the battery was knackered.

Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the fuel pump to prime. Try turning your key to the ignition position where the warnin glights come on, wait about 2 secs and then turn the starter.
