Default Slow Start ? ? ?

I recently purchased a 2005 C6 Convertable. On cold start... no problem.. after car has run takes several seconds to hit. sometimes push stop then hit again and it starts easier.

Anyone know how to cure this ??


Hit me with a PM if you have an answer as I am new and trying to figure out this site... Thanks in advance, Fuzzy

A couple times my 2005 coupe would hesitate for a second after pushing the start button before it turned over, just before my battery died. Happened last Fall.

~ I've got a 2005 vert...owned it since it was new, going on 4-yrs now and also spend quite a bit of time on the forum and can't recall a discussion on this particular problem. Lets see if anyone else chimes in

I've employed my decoder ring on your use of the word hit

Sounds like you have a problem. It should start right away.

Have the dealer show you this bulletin / demand they fix it

Already did ! I was pretty sure it was a fuel pressure problem and was firm that they should run a test for such........ guess what they ordered today........... you got it ! a fuel pump !

WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW... THANKS, FUZZY
