rsweeney 40 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 for as long as ive had the car it always take around 5 seconds to start hot or cold.when working on it years ago i remember finding the front crank sensor corroded through so i had done a temp fix on it and didnt notice any difference to be honest and never got round to replacing it.could it be it just needs replacing to fix slow starting issue ? car runs very nicely bar this Link to post Share on other sites
