Yesterday we had hot weather here in Melbourne, 31 degrees celcius. car was having trouble starting up alot. Was cranking but nothing more, after a few attempts and holding the pedal down eventually it started up. But i'm wondering what the problem is so i can fix it, i had that maybe it was the oil in mind? What else could it be? Very embarrasing having a sexy car like an FC that doesn't start at all the wrong times.

 

was the car already warm from running or was it cold.....

Hope those help.

 

It's on warm start up, thanks any help is great.

Oh thanks for that link, rotorwiki is so useful. Much love.

One question though, if i get it compression checked and it turns out bad, where can i get it fixed, and how much am i looking at paying for it?

 

Isn't that the million dollar question!!!! There is no way to "fix" low compression, you have to rebuild the engine. Do it yourself kits run around $1300, it would cost more to get someone else to do it obviously. Then again there is the ATF "trick".......
