Max9650 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I understand that its very diffucalt to say why it isnt starting first time but all i want it possibilitys and suggestions please!So first thing in the morning when the engine is cold, it will start first time every time,But once the engine is up to overating temp and has been switched off for more then 10-15mins, it will take maybe 3-5 seconds to start, the engine turns off it just wont start upIf i were to stall the car and start it up straight away, it would start straight away, as i say just when the car has been off for more then 10 or so minsThanks for any ideas!

Nads Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 This use to happen to my old glanza, started happenin when I began tuneing it.Do you have a fuel reg? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 When this was happening to mine a had to buy a new battery, see if it starts up smoother with some jump leads or you can buy some copper brush on stuff for your battery terminals which get a better spark, check your spark plugs, best to run lower grades in the winter, may not be any of these things just my experience Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gainzy Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 a local garage should be able to do a battery test, am sure its just something simple, these cars don't like the cold just go around the ht leads make sure its all good maybe check the dizzy cap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

micky boy Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Not a 100% but im sure the reg should be set at 30psi not 40 could be rong though but it dose sound like its fuel related (over fueling) given what you have said that could be why it takes its time to start.
