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...
I've started doing this and rarely have to crank the starter for a long time to start.
Guys, thats not the point. On a brand new car with 20,000kms this shouldnt be a problem to the extent that the car doesnt even turn on the first time..
It's not a battery issue, because this has happened to me when my car was new, and the fluid levels in the sealed battery were sufficient. In my opinion, it is the combination of the long stroke of the engine (99mm) and a wet sparkplug that results in the difficulty with starting. The engine does start. You just have to hold the key longer.
I get the same problem too. Only 2 times in 9 months I've had it though. Both times were when the car was already warm....went to shops came back, try to start first time it wouldn't fire up. Cranked it again and it was ok...
yeh i noticed that you have to 'crank' or watever its called when you turn the key to start the car, it takes a while with the euro, maybe 1 -2 seconds, wheras with another car we have, the car starts in about half a crank, or .5 of a second...
Mine doesnt turn off once its running. My Magna sports would start in 1/2 a turn as stated above EVERY time. Its strange that the honda feels like its sick sometime when I know its not given mine basically brand new.
