hey guys, does anyone of you (especially FL owner) ever encounter situation that the engine wont start after leaving it idle for 2-3 days?
 I just got into this yesterday, the engine just wont start no matter how many time I crank it, checked that battery is OK. Consulted a sifu and he tought me to open the fuel cap and engine oil's cap, let them 'breath' for a while, then crank the engine by turning key to Start position and hold it. My car finally starts after a moment.  According to sifu, this has something to do with air pressure inside not enough to trigger the 'explosion'. Anyone has experience in this? |

QUOTE(V12Kompressor @ Nov 8 2011, 03:34 PM) well, it cold start after that proedure. perhaps maybe most if not all of it is true. no worries...I got plenty of chances...coz don usually drive when I'm in hometown for weekend... or you could leave your abandoned for another 2-3 days and repeat the same test to prove it.  |

QUOTE(coolkwc @ Nov 8 2011, 04:15 PM) My car put 5 days also single crank only.. hmmm...I did always left my car idle for few days...but this is the first time happened...Sorry to say, something wrong with your car, hidden hiccup... QUOTE(zeone @ Nov 8 2011, 04:35 PM) Nope. Dun think that's the reason. Me got leave my FL for 3-4 days also. Nvr had such prob. not sure about that...but I had tried pausing in between for 10-15 mins before calling the sifu and he only get back to me after like 2 hours.. Alwaz rber that after each failed start, one shld hv a short pause b4 nxt attempt. Many reasons. So probably yr car cld start later becoz it had THAT break while yu're making that "consultation"? well, you could be right though  This post has been edited by wiind: Nov 8 2011, 05:03 PM |
