Starting Issues

[NuGGeT]

my r33 is hard to start for the first time of the day no matter wot time. i have to keep my foot down the accelerator to start it. once i get it warmed up, its fine. can anyone plz help me with this problem?

that would be much appriciated

also i tried reseting the ecu and it just made things worse, before it would start up run for a few seconds and stall if i didn't press the accelerator in but not it will not start unless i toggle witht he accelerator for like 5 secodns while trying to start

its a real pain in the ass, i'd heard of many suggestions but i need to know from someone who has had this problem

so far some of the reasons could be.

*fuel pump

*fuel relay

*injectors

*fuel pressure regulator

*ecu

*cold start valve

i got no idea, but the intake might be clogged up, maybe check the airfilter too... Just a thought. Good luck

I think this is cmon to all skylines...only things that come to my car, in relation to my car, are dirty/leaking injectors (may need new o-rings), or, something to do with the clutch fan.

Make sure there's no fuse missing or blown in the driver's side fuse box under the dash. If the fuse labeled "starter signal" (in Japanese) is missing or blown, the car will be hard to start when cold. Do a search for the jap-english translation of the fuse box.

Also, check the coolant temperature sensor.

Just a few thoughts.

its not just lines its all cars give it 2-3 skirts of throtle then turn it over when its turnin ova give it another 1. that should do the trick its 'cause there has been no fuel circulating for a period of time

yeh rusty i normaly do that, just it shouldn't be happering in the first place

umm, mine starts within .5sec cranking every time. With any EFI car you should not need to touch the throttle on starting.

Sorry, no suggestions, but it definately is not normal.
