same with my car. sometimes when you start it, it seems to die, but did start after 1-2 seconds.

Hmm, thats strange. Thats 3 people its happening too with the exact same symptoms. Weird
Soz to hijack slightly, but In terms of starting euro for auto, there is a slight problem i have had where it doesnt sense park...i usually shift out and back into it or just move it a little to make it sense it..it wont even let you turn the key if this happens...
the prob in quesiton does sound a little more mechanical/electrical, due to three people reporting same thing....keep us posted !
My friends Euro had the same problem of not starting up properly sometimes. Took it down to Robert at Hanny's and he said he reset the fuel map. Problem hasnt come back after 6months and counting....
Just to bump this thread.
Mine is still doing it and for the first time yesterday it tried to start and couldnt then turned off. Each time i say it to Honda their answer is "we'll reset the ecu", they have done that twice now. Seriously, wtf
wow im really surprise, so im not the only one with this problem
i think its just a normal thing for euro
Hi Kevin. Just wondering, do you when you are about to turn your engine off, do you let it idle for about 2-3 seconds? Or do you arrive at your destination, stop, go to P, pull handbrake and turn off immediately?
I also get this once in a while, where I counted that I needed 4 turns of the starter before the engine started. But when cold and it's the first start of the day, the engine starts fine. I suspect that the injectors for some reason spray a bit too much fuel into the manifold as soon as your stop your car, so when we turn off, we end up with some fuel in the cylinder. Just speculating.
Question, does it happen in colder days or it's random?
normally turn off turn off immediatelyQuote:

I won't recommend killing the engine the moment you arrive at your destination, give it a few seconds to complete the combustion and then switch it off...
