I just got my engine , turbos, and harness rebuilt about 2 weeks ago on my FD. Two days ago the car decided that it wont crank over right anymore. It takes about 2 mins of trying then it comes right to life with no problem. I know my battery is little iffy. I was wondering if replacing that would fix the problem?

 

The harness could be draining the battery too much...but then again the more you crank the less likely it will start if the battery is low on voltage. Probably not the battery's fault but hard to tell

 

Who did the work? If its a shop, I'd contact them about it.

What is the voltage on the battery when you try and start it? Typically, it should be 12 volts.

Did you install new injectors or anything like that during the engine R&R?

Could also be loose wires to the starter.


FYI - I changed your title from Minor Problem to what you see now. Try to be informative so that people get the general theme of the thread from the title.

 

i corrected problem guys, it wasn't anything major. There was loose wire, tightened the bolt up and it started right up every time.
