#1: Hard start when cold-happens occasionally Author: hamed206, Location: EgyptPosted: Wed Jul 16, 2014 11:02 am ---- Engine will turn but won't start unless you try for 10-15 times! It happens when you park the car for 6 hrs or more. But this doesn't happen always, it happened only 2 times in 1 month.
Any ideas?
My fuel pump, fuel filter, coil pack, spark plugs, are all new.

#3: Re: Hard start when cold-happens occasionally Author: hamed206, Location: EgyptPosted: Wed Jul 16, 2014 8:33 pm ---- Battery is only 6 months old. I'm not suspecting the battery because the engine turns and the sound of the turn is fine (not weak).

When was it last serviced?

Actually, we don't have a cold climate in Egypt now! It is 30C in the morning!

Spark plugs extensions have been replaced with the coil 2 months ago.

#9: Re: Hard start when cold-happens occasionally Author: hamed206, Location: EgyptPosted: Fri Jul 18, 2014 8:11 pm ---- Today it happened when the car was not cold. I tried to turn the engine, but it didn't turn after several trials. So I tried an old MAP sensor, lucky it worked! Sounds that the problem has been sorted. Will need to test again for more few days.
