okay guys I need help....

First off my car doesn't like to start when its warmed up. Just went out for a drive and came home turned it off came inside went back out to leave and it does start, it cranks but doesn't turn over. when it's cool it starts just fine. whats going on here? and now my parking brake light won't go off. aaaaahhhhhh, I'm going to go pull my hair out now.

hmmm... did you check the plugs? when was the last time you change it?

the parking brake light... search on this... there has been many thread before...

 

Sounds like it might be signs of low compression. I'd check it.

 

well the motor is brand new so I haven't been to worried about the plugs. but I guess it's possible, I'll take a look.

 

It is normal to have low compression on a new motor right? Do I just need to brake in the motor or is this a bigger problem?

Check your brake fluid level. If it is low, the parking brake light will stay on.

 

with 3mm seals it will take a few thousand miles for them to seal as best as possible so your compression isn't at it's max yet since you are breaking it in. But you should have no problem at all starting it up. Your motor is fine.

Change or clean the spark plugs and see if that fixes it.
I'd point to leaking injectors if it persists after that.
If the engine is flooding it will crank for a long time before starting if ever.

Good luck with that and it's not a stupid car

 

well I had the injectors cleaned and ported I don't smell any fuel. I'm going to change my plugs, what do you guys think I should run? NGK? what heat range? Thanks for all the great tips guys.

Oh fixed the brake light, Thanks
