takes a long time to start

andtee · Apr 24, 2015

My (new) p38 takes a long time to start, like he isn't getting fuel
So could the fuel be running back in the tank ?
or isn't there any pressure in the fuel system
any usual suspects ?

petrol or diesel ?

andtee · Apr 24, 2015

petrol 4.6

where could al the fuel gone to

Could it be that I got trouble with software; that the key isn't recognized by the car
if I change keys then (sometimes) it goes on (all of a sudden)

Look at main engine control relay. Relay 19. And fuel pump relay. Relay 12.

Back to basics: fuel, air, spark.

Probably easiest to check the spark first?

fuel pump is working; sparks works
when its start (finally) it runs really well
could it not be an electronic thing ?

check sparks
actually new sparks leads
etc
check al the negatieve cables
there fine as well

So, just to be clear, you have checked that during the period during in which the engine turns over but doesn't fire, there is a spark at the plugs?

takes a long time to start
