It's happened twice so far for me but only in the morning when it is freezing outside.

This has happened to me a few times... I just give it a few seconds and try it again. There was one instance where I was at one of my track event's paddock area, and the car would not start even after a few tries... Some folks started to look over at me and my FR-S because of my difficulty, but then it finally started.

I don't know what to say, but it hasn't been a major issue which has completely failed on me...

I have just under 9k miles on my car as of now.

happened to me today, parked it outside beginning of my shift, 8hrs later, trying to go home the car wouldnt start properly until a 2nd time. Ill try to record it with my phone next time.

First time this has happened at 5770kms

This happened to me tonight with approximately 1,800 miles on the car.

Turned the key cranked strong for 3-4 seconds but did not turn over, I was about to give up and try again and it turned over strong which was weird.

first time driving cars for some folks here it seems...

I think its pretty normal. I usually pause for a second when turning the key before cranking to let fuel pressure come up and things settle.

Also, everything needs to sync and its a little more tricky on a high compression engine. Motorcycles don't always start on first try either. I would rather have it take its time or a few tries than start incorrectly.

I've had the same problem in my AT. Not sure what it is though, also not overly worried as I see its a common problem that hasn't led to much else.

I'm having the issue too. It has happened every day this week. It just started this week too.

And yes, I always wait for the pump to prime...

This, got into the habit of doing it with my S2000 and carried it over to the FRS. Turn key to acc, wait for gauges to come to life and settle, start car. No issues so far.

This has happened to me 3 times so far but only on very cold mornings. If it's not happening in cold weather, I'm thinking it might be a problem. Maybe a new battery will fix the issue.

I always turn the key on for about 5 seconds before starting the car and I have never had that issue
