First start when cold

[Jammy007]

I don't know if its me or the car.

 

When starting the car after its been left a few hours to cool down or first thing in the morning, it seems to take a second longer to start than it usually would.

 

If I knock the engine off and restart after a small pause, the car starts fine with no problems what so ever.

 

Voltmeter needle is sitting where it should, no warning lights.

 

Just worried somethings on the way out

The three things I've read it could be are:

Battery (will carry out the tip about starting it with the lights on when I go out after work)

Starter Motor

Starter Motor Solenoid

 

Anyone got any idea's what it'll be?

 

How much are we talking for the starter motor or the solenoid out of curiosity and are they easily replaced by someone with limited skills?

Allow 10 secs before trying to restart bud.

 

If you check out 350ztech there is a section on cold weather starting.

Don't think its anything to do with starter motor or solenoid.

 

I wouldnt worry about it, just sounds like a cold start. Do you do a lot of short journeys?

Cheers for the reply guys.

 

Martin, never been on the 350ztech can you point me in the right direction please?

 

I found www.350z-tech.com but can't seem to find it and having trouble registering for the forums at the moment if that is the right one.

So honestly thats all you think it will be...... that seems way too easy and costs nothing which at the moment is totally the opposite to the luck I'm having.

Cross your fingers.

 

You could take it to my dealer if you want, it will be summer when you get it back so no probs.
