So Im leaving class, today around 12pm ish and I'm driving my friend home with me. I get in the car start it up and it goes crank crank crank crank crank start. But it was like a soft start like it barely started. I've never had a problem like this before, battery/alt are both fine. After that it was fine. Any way it could just be a 1 time thing? Car started perfect in the morning?

It's actually kinda ironic, cause yesterday I had oil change, tranny fluid change, and freon added at the local shop.

its the fuel pump.

that shit happens to me periodically.

I cant find another reason for why this happening.

its kind of like its not at a high enough pressure, the fuel is just not getting pushed it seems like

I had a little less then a 1/2 tank of gas. This is actually the 2nd time this has happeend to me and its just random once in the morning and then today. It kinda cranks like 4-5x and that lightly (barely) starts. And then it drove like a dream...

Hmmm So you guys think its a fuel issue? I had way more then a 1/4 tank...Do I need to use one of those fuel tank cleaners?

The only other thing that was different about today is it was drizzling, and very overcasted?!

anytime i have less than a half tank i can tell it is slower to start...

dustbuster a long time ago said this was normal....

r3mix3r

Well...It wasnt even really slow to start, it like sounded like it wasnt even gonna turn over then after the 4-5th crank it slowly started. How come it started fine in the morning? Can anyone give me a good explanation? I've never heard anything like this before...

jtothees

Had same problems a little bit ago, turns out the starter silinoid had crapped out.

ib_jimmy

that is normal in a lot of car. no worry, maybe next time u pump u gas try putting 93 octang.

r3mix3r

ya Genuine Honda ATF z1 or whatever...

r3mix3r

why 93 "octane" ? I thought 87 runs best for our cars?!
