intermittant no start....
I have an intermittant no start only on cold starts and only on the first or second key turn, after that it starts right up....(new battery, new starter, new ignition switch)...
but I remember some org member having the same problem a few months back and he recalls some wiring harness on the passenger side of the car being unplugged after he had it in the shop...after that it always started on the first time...he also mentioned that with the driver side door open, it wouldn't do it, mine is doing the exact same thing, with the driver door open, it starts right up with the first key turn...what gives, all I hear is a single "click" when I turn the key on cold starts, it has never completely failed to start, just on the first or second key turn...I am thinking a fuel related problem as if I put the key in the "ON" position for 2-3 seconds (prepping the fuel system/fuel pump), the first key turn starts the car....I never have this problem when my car is warm...it has to be sitting for an hour or two or more...
