Just recently my dc2 vtir started having very rough startups when my engine is cold. By rough i mean, longer cranks and it would rough idle for a around 2 seconds then go back too normal cold start rpm, around 1.5k rpm. After driving the car and starting it back up when the engine is warm it would start normally with no problems at all. Any help would be appreciated.
Check battery - check the connections and the state of charge. If a few years old I'd replace it.
Check spark plugs
Changed spark plugs not long ago, havent checked the battery yet i will do that tommorow. Is it possible it could be fuel pressure related?
exactly what my dc2r was doing, then i changed out my distributor thinking its that and now the car wont start at all....hope you find a fix because it maybe the same problem im having
What plugs did you use? How long agoQuote:

Also, i should probrably add that this problem really only started happening when my car hadn't been started for a week. So im really thinking it could be something to do with the battery. I think bennjamin might be right.. Ill get around too changing the battery then see how it goes.
probably ur fitv playing up
How many km's on these plugs?Quote:

What mods do you have?
Around 2500 kms on the plugs. The only mods i have is an exhaust and a podfilter.
Is it a Brummmmm'mmm'mmm''m'''mmmmm splutter or a brum... Brum... Brum... Brum...
Throttle body cleaner, spark plugs
yeah, that is how i think it sounds lol. ill double check the spark plugs and ill keen the throttle body.
checked the battery yet ?
Buy a spray pack from supercheap or something, also check the main fuse and make sure all the leads are tight
I've recently had this problem, Try priming the injectors and then starting the car, if this solves your problem the your injectors may be dirty or faulty. Just my experience.
problem, fixed. It was the battery. Thanks for all the help.
