If the car doesn't start properly (meaning it takes two-three attempts) even when the batteries are fresh and the alternators are perfect, what are the other indications of the malfunction? Which parts are most commonly involved?

Of course the mileage the car has is important, but anything else that could be the heavy factor?



Thanks in advanced.

 

So do you actually hear the starter motor turning the engine over?

 

i've had it once where i went to start the car and it didn't do anything..no noise...after several turns..so i took the key out, and my foot off the clutch, tried it again and it worked..
i dunno, cars are weird lol.

 

Thats weird for a clutch. I know some autos wont start unless your foot is on the brake, and in Park.

 

what's weird for a clutch?

 

I was agreeing with you...

 

i didn't know why you were refering to my clutch, that's all.

 

Could it be related to the anti-theft key security code check? Haven't happened to me on the TSX (nor any of the 3 other Acura's I have had), but I can recall similar thing happened on my '98 Prelude several times. I remember the only thing "happening" was the green key-like icon flashing when I turned the key and usually I pulled the key out and put back in and tried again then it would start.

 

Oh, I dunno, maybe because you talked about it here?

 

I love it when someone creates a thread, gives vague information, then leaves for a while to let us figure out what the hell he's talking about

 

Good point, but I wonder if he's even talking about a TSX

 

i said i took my foot off the clutch and then went to start it again....and you said you've never heard of that with a MT...and i asked "heard of what?" and you still never responded.

did you mean that you've never heard of someone with a MT not being able to start their car?

i really don't understand what you were trying to say.

 

Yea, ok...lets just drop it then...

 

lol you realize what you said doesn't make sense now? haha ok whatever, dropped.

 

No, im just realizing what a piece of work you are...

Read through the thread and tell me where I said "I've never heard of that with an MT"

I'll let everyone else be the judge. Sorry for mucking up your thead with this bs iamhomin.

 

i thougth we dropped it? ..the three guys here read what you put and have no idea what the hell you are talking about...and are surprised that you drive a MT since you obviosuly know absolutly nothing about them.

 

WOW...this is classic...

So now I dont know if your just f'n with me or your seriously this retarded...

 

you act like you're half your age... i give up..seriously why do I even bother posting on this fucking gay forum.

 

 

Can't we all just get along?

 

 

How do you know everything is perfect? Should bring it back to the dealer and have them do a test on your battery, alternator, and starter than look at the print out to see if anything is failing.

 

I'm guessing he's referring to an older car...

but the key question is, does the car crank at all when you try to start it?

If it doesn't, it's probably some anti-theft device problem, or probably the clutch sensor or something...

If it does and the battery/atlernator is good, try giving it some gas when you try to start.... if it does, could be dirty intake, fuel injector, or IAC.... If it doesn't then I dunno....maybe some problem in the electrical system.
