Im having trouble starting my max. It takes a long time for it to crank over and start. Has anyone had the same problem? Please see the youtube video to see my problem.
Thanks.

is that a check engine light that stays on?
When was the last time you changed fuel filter? Spark plugs? Cleaned air filter?
Original starter?
more information required before accurate diagnosis is made.

I'm going to change the fuel filter today, and i believe the starter is an aftermarket.
As for the battery- I think on my way home I'll take to pepboys and have them check the Volts.
The Shop I took my Max too was just a car shop. I think if after changing the fuel filter, check the battery volts and cleaning the K&N, I'm going to to take it to a "specialist" - a shop that only works on Japaneses cars.
Its a freaking pain starting the car after its been sitting for a while.
I'll report back.

hey ive got this same type of problem. Try turning the car on for a sec (dont turn it ove jsut put the key to on), and then start it up. Sometimes if my car sits for a while ive got this same thing so just wait a few seconds before i turn it over and it starts up fine.

So priming the system for a second before cranking works?

If I turn it the key to On then Off four times it will start much quicker. Otherwise it takes a good 30 secs to a minute of cranking. So I am assuming this is the problem. Sorry to hijack thread TS.

I'm just going to order this one for 50 bucks

No I haven't I really should though. I just pulled the trigger on a fuel pump oh well. I just havent had the time nor motivation to get into it.

I had the volts checked on my battery and it was fine.
Taking it to the Import mechcanic this Thursday - Hopefully they can find out whats wrong.

I ran grounds to the tarnny and starter from the neg battery using 10g wire- did not fix anything. After putting the new grounds, I am now throwing codes and have a weird idle-1320 and 325 accoring to the odb. Thinking about just dumping the car. It has 2170000mi on it and I don't know if I want to put anymore cash into it.

P0325 is normal, the KS tends to be bad. It won't light the CEL, so you'll usually only find the code when you have another problem. P1320 is an ignition system fault, could be a dead or dying coil.
You shouldn't have an ignition fault just from adding new grounds.

Not 1320 and 325, P1320 and P0325. Big difference in how you describe codes for the A32.

FIXED IT!!!!!!
OMG!! What a pain the @$$ this has been - Today I was double checking everything, engine wires, fuel filter, battery, everything. I was checking the fuse panel diagram under the steering wheel against the fuses, and I noticed something I missed - THERE WAS NO FUSE IN THE "ST" SECTION! The 7.5 fuse that should have been there some how was moved in between "ACC" and "IGN" So I took the 7.5 fuse and moved it to "ST" and now my max fires right up!!! I have no idea how that fuse moved.
Thanks for everyone's help.
And for everyone that is having the same starting issue - Go check your fuse and make sure it's not blown or missing or damaged.
