Intermittent starting problem?

Hi,

First, confirm the battery terminals are both clean and tight. If they are, take note if the click you hear is from the starter motor. If it is, chances are the starter is starting to fail.

The delayed start is likely the result of fuel pressure drop-off. Try this and when it decides to crank, see how long it takes to start.

1) Turn the key from the off to the run position (engine off) and count to 5.

2) Turn the key off and repeat step 1 a total of four times.

3) On the fifth time, see if the engine starts normally.

Let me know what happens.

Take care,

Joe
