Car hesitating to start
Today after work, my car wouldn't start up right away. It cranked over for like 2 seconds and then finally started up.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my Max?

If it gets progressivly worse get in the habit of turning on the ignition for 3 seconds before you start the engine. That will give the fuel pump time to prime the rail.

Fuel rail leak down. Usually caused by a leaky injector or failing FPR.

Your IACV maybe sticking and need to be cleaned or replaced? Throttle body?? If your starter isn't straining your just not getting the fuel neccesary to start her... I can't say I've heard of a leaky fuel rail? But who knows!

Considering that my warranty is over with, I can't really take it in to get it fixed for free. I sure can't afford to pay to have it fixed right now.

I had this happen to me. I was told that the max loves to pure fuel into the engine during the initial startup. If you let go the key to early wait a few seconds before trying to crank it again. The engine will flood if you don't. If you flood the engine hold the gas all the way down to the floor and crank it. This will cutoff the fuel pump and burn the gas in the cylinders. Let go the gas once it cranks over.

It happens to me
I experinced this after one month with my car back in April '01.I have an SE auto with 29k on it now. It happens to me sometimes when the car is warm, driven then re-started after about an hour.If I put the key in the ignition, wait a second or two, then engage the fuel pump for a couple of seconds before cranking, the car always turns over.
