Hey, i was just wondering how long it took everyones cars to start.....Please state if its a turbo or an N/A

Mine take anywhere from 2-5 seconds to start...I'm just wondering if thats normal or extra long, or what

WHy does it take so long to start?

 

mine usually takes at the most 2 seconds

 

turbo...about 2 secs (sounds like 3 turn overs)

 

oh yea..mines s4 N/A with fd alternator and redtop optima

 

Mine starts right when I turn the key most of the time....fastest starting car I ever have owned or driven (1987 Turbo2 w/ Jspec). My old 87 NA would take about 3 seconds or so.

 

ding ding ding fire up you know what the dings sound like although last night it did take 5 dings - god man sorry i dont know what to describe the sound as

 

My record is by -37´C about 3-4 seconds. 86-N/A

 

'87 T2 about 1.3 sec

 

13b blowthru turbo..... about 6-7 seconds of cranking.

 

My TII is like 3 rotor turns. always

 

S4 NA Takes about 3-5 cranks

 

whi whi whi brbrbrbrbbrrmmm
about a second or 2... 88 t2

my T2 is the best starting FC ive ever been around. it turns over twice and fires off. now whether it wants to stay running is another story.

 

1 turn of engine... unless i park it for a while and the injectors leak out a lot of gasoline... then its like 5 to 6 turns

 

Is it bad necessarily if it takes say more than a couple seconds to crank. If it starts up strong after that time though, then things should be fine correct? I just went a test drove a 88 GXL that ran REAL strong, but it kinda took longer than I'm used to my buddys starting (when warmed up), just diff. from 7-7 I guess.

mine starts after a couple of cranks but usually requires the gas pedal to help it .. 1 - 2 seconds but the gas needs to be their to coach it along i guess?

90 TII probably a tired motor..

 

about 2-3 seconds

 

Just 1 sec

Its always "whu whu brrrrrrrrrrr" (really dont know if its 1,2 or 3 turns). Really havent paid much attention, because it always starts right up

EDIT: PS: opps, forgot, '91 TII (although it can be seen in my sig.)

 

3 turns cold.

1-2 hot. Seriously, I can blip the key and it chugs to life.

 

Dude, where in Germany does it get to -37C???? Its hardly that cold here in Canada!!!

87 TII: usually a couple of turns and it fires up, especially when warm...
