Trouble Starting

ChloroFiend · 10-19-2006, 01:20 PM

Anyone else having any starting problems on their car? It's only with the first start up of the day...it feels like the battery is weak/dead, but it catches after a few seconds. After that, my car starts right up. I've never left the lights on or had the battery run dry, but do always drive with both the lights and foglights on.

It seems to be the nature of the car. Some people say it's the ECU or some electronic part of the car trying to get things ready. It seems like a design flaw to me, but then again, my car has always started, even if it cranks a lot before.

I have an 07 Si that I just got 3 weeks ago and it has trouble starting in the mornings. One day I had to try twice. Every morning when I drive its the drive is jerky for the fist 2-5 mins. and then it smooths out. There doesn't seem to be any amount of clutch or gas that keeps it smooth for that few mins.

Should I be worried?

the jerking is pretty much normal. but the starting problem is a problem for most ppl including me, i dont know if its just the car or its a first gen bug. hopefully its a 1st gen bug. lol
