Got a diagnosis, Billy?
Not yet Ian. Goes to shop Tuesday.
So now it's taking upto a minute to start...
Immobiliser issue maybe, as in the pulse width modulated signal from the ECU to the immobiliser module is intermittent.
Again this is more of a 2.4lt problem, the signal line from the ecu to the immobiliser goes via the IP cluster (instrument panel) and is prone to breakage at the plug and internally on the IP cluster itself. This was resolved on the 2.2 as the feed line goes direct from the ecu to the immobiliser.
Or a faulty or intermittent crankshaft position sensor, i've done a few on the 2.2, but generally the 2.2 will throw a code for it, unlike a 2.4
I'm only ruling out the lift pump and high pressure pump as the OP has had that done and both are not a common failure.
but if we are still on the line of fuel supply, a poorly fitting fuel filter.
It only takes a minute or more to start when hot. About 3 seconds when cold.
I had an immobiliser stop it once. In that instance it started imediatky and stopped after about a second.
Info coming back from mechanics: 1 possibly 2 injectors have gotten tired. I'll replace them all. That will cost a few bucks no doubt. I'm also going to replace several components in the cooling system, suspension and breaks. Why did I buy a car at Christmas? WTF was I thinking?
I love my mechanic?Quote:

break - to smash, split, or divide into parts violently; reduce to pieces or fragments
brake - a device for slowing or stopping a vehicle or other moving mechanism by the absorption or transfer of the energy of momentum, usually by means of friction.
check - to prove to be right; correspond accurately.
cheque - a bill of exchange drawn on a bank by the holder of a current account; payable into a bank account, if crossed, or on demand, if uncrossed.
I thought it was only seen in facebook marketplace. I expect sooo much more from AULRO [tonguewink]
A bit harsh, Daz. At least AULROians are discerning, civil and honourable. [tonguewink]
