Not another starting thread
Lately the good old 05 manual transmission rx8 (107,000m) has been taking a few extra cranks when hot. Its not every time. For example if the car sits for 60 seconds or less it starts just fine. If it sits hot for about 5 minutes, it takes 3-4 seconds to start. I would think that a hot start is a hot start no matter if it's 1 or 5 minutes after the engine was shut off. Any thoughts?
PS Battery just replaced, Thinking about replacing the stock starter this weekend. |
I'm sure you can figure this out based on the many starting threads that have been posted as of late.
My thought is that there's a problem with your car! How do you feel about your fuel system and ignition? |
Probably true!
I replaced spark plugs and coils because of misfires about 10k ago. As far as the fuel system I don't know. I run fuel system cleaners about every 1500 miles. |
Since you have such a high millage car, consider replacing your fuel pump (they usually fail over 60k miles) and, like you said, the starter may be an issue.
