Why the ocassional pause when starting?

Face · 12-07-2012, 03:29 AM

Have you checked the blinker fluid? Could be it.

Ah... maybe that's what the delay comes from?

The ECU is busy checking if there are nails in the tires before the safe start??? Good point kenchan.

I had the fuse removed as well, and notice it takes awhile for the start button to respond. It doesn't happen all the time, though.

I've noticed that the only time there is a delay in car starting is when you get inside and wait a while before you push the start button.

You may be on to something. I was in my car this evening, door open, fiddling with a laptop. Thought about your post and waited several minutes (at least 2, maybe 5) before pushing start btn. Pause before starting.

Mine started after I removed the fuse but only sometimes. I noticed it yesterday when it took a good 10-12 seconds to actually turn on.

hmmmm All the other posts I've noticed have reported 1-3 second delays. You may have something else going on.

I thought it was just building up suspense before starting.

Like a good movie.

It's the accumulation of matter and antimatter for warp speed in forward motion before pressing the accelerator.

I too have noticed the occassional delay after the steering lock fuse was removed. Since the delay is inconsistent (most times the car starts just like it did before the fuse was removed) the fact that opening the door and waiting awhile before starting seems to result in a pause when the start button is pushed. I've noticed this once and will attempt to duplicate the conditions. The delay was about a second or two if I recall.

Wait, what color is the Blinker Fluid supposed to be? I think someone put the wrong kind in my car, it is a blueish hue...

But honestly, I wouln't think much of it since it happens on such a random basis..
