Does it take extra long to crank the car
Well I had this problem like the first 2 months I had the car but thought it was just my fault.
Usually when i start my car it takes like 1.5~2 seconds to start the car. Like I have to crank it extra long. one of my friends just got a 90 used accord and when he started the car it cranked with in .5 seconds and started. Also my previous cars (maxima) didn't have this problem. Started w/in .5 seconds.
I also read something in the NHST or what ever its called post a service bulliten about this.
Am i the only one?

Here is Wayne's response on this back in April....... It never happened to me again so I did not bring it to him. I'll have Jens check next week when I have the headers re-torqued....

waynegCrazy Poster Posts: 116From: Maywood, NJRegistered: Feb 2001 posted 04-18-2001 04:28 PM The bulletin Jens is refering to (B01-001) addresses intermitent hard start after hot soak. The cure for that is to replace the fuel pressure regulator. The cold start, long crank is an issue we see most in fall and spring. It too is fuel related. The gas companies switch from Winter to Summer blends at those times and the change in vapor pressure from the fuel can cause wierd starting problems- particularly if you still have winter gas and the temp gets warm or summer gas and the temp gets cold. Not much you can do about this. The other issue is that you may be getting a slight loss of pressure in the fuel system after the car sits overnight. When you turn the key, the fuel pump is activated and pressurizes the system. It take a second or so to build pressure back up- thus the extra cranks. The best cure for this is to turn the key to on for a second or two then to crank. This gives the pump time to work and you should have a shorter crank. These really aren't problems and they do exist in most fuel injected cars.------------------Wayne GruenService ManagerPark Ave Acura
