Car wont start? Anyone else?
 

Hello, every so often it takes a few tries to get the car started...I assume this isn't normal on a new car :(

... happen maybe 4 times total since I bought it in late Aug.

If it's manual, make sure you're not pressing against the gas pedal. The engine floods easily.

Check your battery voltage, could be a bad battery or bad connections.

Please define "a few tries"...

Do you mean it turns over several times before firing up, or are you turning the key and just getting nothing, clicks, weak/slow start, etc?

Happened to me once so far. Let it crank for about 5 seconds. Cranked strong but wouldn't turn over. Cranked second time for about 10 seconds. Cranked fine but again didn't fire up. Third try must have been the charm bc it fired right up. Hoping it was just a fluke.

It's a auto and yes I turn it over and nothing, it tries to start put doesn't lol. I hope it was a fluke too! ... 4 times already.

+1 on checking the battery and connections. If it's that, then eventually you will get stranded.

The Evo X came with those same Panasonic batteries and we had problems starting almost every car with them. When we replaced them with an Optima battery, the problem was solved. I'm not sure if it really is the battery but having worked for a dealer that dealt with those batteries, I wouldn't be surprised.

Try giving it a moment once you turn the key to the first position for the fuel pump to prime the injectors. I've had this problem occasionally.

If it's an AT make sure it's in Park or neutral ?

It happened to me 4 times in 45 days...it's been a long time since the last time it did it.

The engine cranks but takes about 4 seconds to start vs the normal 0.5-1 seconds. I'm not making a deal about it yet.

Happend to me 1 time in 1800 miles.

Has happened to me once also, 600km.
since then i have waited after i have turned the key to the first position for the fuel pump to prime and it has not happend since.

got 4000+ miles - happened to me about 3 times so far, exactly as you described:iono:
