  • Possible startup problem...

    Do any 3800 owners around here have to crank their cars a couple of times to get them to start when they're cold? I park mine outside (no garage) and have to either crank it twice or crank it and hold it to get it started. It always starts, just on the second try sometimes. Anyone else have this problem?? I've got a '00 Pewter A4 Camaro... Thanks for your time.. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    My Firebird would do that too. What I did to get around that is this: Turn the key to run, leave it there for about 2 seconds and then crank it. It will crank up everytime first try for me if I do that on a cold morning.
