ok...

sometimes in the morning when i want to start my car it wont start... it will like sputter and die and NOT start...

BUT

i can get it started if i keep pushing the gas..

but it will either be like really bad idling like sputtering and/or the engine will shake for a few seconds... i can correct it if i hold the rpms at around 2-3k and it will be fine and the car will idle perfectly...


it has done this one other time like a week ago but i just pumped the gas and it started fine.... i didnt think much of it since it didnt do it anymore..

anyone have any ideas what might be causing this sometimes?

btw my car is a daily driver so its not the issue of it sitting..

 

My car does this too. The only known problems I have is my TPS. I think my injectors are leaking too, because it runs really rich sometimes.

 

Leaking injectors would be the number one cause.

 

Maybe airflow meter is starting to fail?

 

what you dont understand is that s5's have their equivalent to pms every month. Let it sit for a few days or overnight, all will be good


goodluck

 

i let it sit for a whole day... and it still is doing it...

also even when the engine is warm and at operating temp...

i really need a solution for this because cranking and not starting is a pain in the ***..


iam hoping nothing major is wrong... i thought it would be flooded but after it starts its fine...

 

anybody?

 

that explains everything...

 

Leaky injector(s) + poor compression?
If I'm correct, and someone let me know if I'm wrong, the S5's have a sort of built in flood prevention. Just hold the gas to the floor when you start cranking.
I would say that if this cures your situation, then you should check your compression, and injectors.

just my 2 cent's

 

i dont think its loosing compression because it still performs the same after its started...


hmmmm..

 

hmmmm, does it clear up after a while?

 

wat do u mean as in clear up?

it will keep doing it every time i shut off the car and need to start it up agian...


but...

after getting the car started it performs fine... no problemos at all.. it will perform just like it did before... now iam not saying its performing bad.. but getting it started is a pain....

 

Mine clears up after awhile, but it seems to come back after awhile.

 

it happend to me a week ago... i didnt think much of it as it didnt do it agian.. but it became repititive now.. so i dunno

 

I have a similar problem on my ser 5 na. When it's warm, the idle starts bouncing funny and sometimes the engine actually turns off. I can crank and crank and it won't start back up but If I hold the pedal to the floor sometimes that gets it started.

 

heh.. i guess you were right...


i let the car sit in the garage over night and in the morning started it and to my surprise it was fine agian..

lol..

weird stuff but oh well i love this car..

thanks guys
