hey guys,

its been happening for awhile now.. sumtimes when i go to start my car, it wont start.. i have to turn it to "off" and then turn it to "on" position and wait til it stops beeping and all the lights settle, then i can start it with ease...

does anyone know why this is happening? i dunt have much hooked to my battery.. i just have HIDs connected to the battery, and two 6" neons connected to my cig lighter... and a RSM to the ECU, and thats about it...

do you think if I did they battery "Grounding", it will help???

thanks for looking guys....

Ive also had this problem in the past, Even had my car stall at a intersection for no reason and started up fine. I would also like to know.

the way you described it sounds like you have fuel bleeding off somewhere. If this happens everytime you start, I would suspect a component leaking. like a fuel injector or fuel bleeding back into the tank. turning it on and waiting you are energizing the fuel pump for a few seconds thus putting fuel back into the rail.

this doesnt happen all the time, but every now and then... how bad is it? my car is off warranty.. its an 02'

probably the immobilizer. check to see if a little green key shaped light on the dash flashes as you are cranking it.
