Siewss 1st Gear February 22, 2011 Share February 22, 2011 don;t think...normal driving is fine...only starting.... I had engine start difficulty plus uneven idling - changed the fuel pump followed by the throttlebody and the uneven idling problem got solved, and so did the engine start problem. Over time, though I'm not plagued by uneven idling, the engine start problem resurfaced. The WS again stated there's nothing wrong. Now my warm cranking (usually after turning off engine for 2~3 hours) can take between 5~10 secs. I can only remember 2 things I did that could have led to the problem: i) Started the engine when the engine was already running ii) Ran completely dry of petrol while driving Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
