#1: Have to wait before starting Author: haggis120, Location: scotlandPosted: Tue Oct 18, 2011 6:37 pm ---- Hi, I have a problem that has just started. I have to turn ignition on and wait till dash lights go out air bag etc.. before I can start the engine.
If I try to start it before it will not start and then I have to leave it for five or ten minutes as it will not start even if I wait till the lights go out.
Any ideas would be great. thanks

#10: Re: Have to wait before starting Author: MRyan89, Location: Home: Fleet, Hampshire, Uni: Portsmouth!Posted: Wed Oct 19, 2011 2:36 am ---- I normally just wait until the stop light and abs lights etc turn off anyway, its better to let it prime itself!
#11: Re: Have to wait before starting Author: DanPug206, Location: BirminghamPosted: Wed Oct 19, 2011 4:42 am ---- I always let my lights go out before attempting a start up, takes 5 seconds then your off.

When you say "not start" does the engine turn over at normal starting speed but not fire; or does it turn over slowly or not at all? Or some other issue?

Steve206, what does the engine priming sound like?
This has just started it didnt matter weather I left the lights to go out or not.
