Hi,
This is regarding 1996 Nissan Presea EFI Automatic car.

* Have to hold the ignition key on "Engine ON" for 2-3 Second to start the car.
* Once it has started, I can shut it off and it will restart just fine (No key holding)
* Sometimes it starts in first attempt too.(No key holding)

> Battery & charging system, Running condition are 100% OK.

Is it bad to hold the key like this to start & what would be the cause for this problem?

Thanks.
