Sometimes will crank but won't start.
About 1-2 times a week, this usually happens: the car will crank but won't start; 10 seconds later I try again and it starts up fine. It seems to me that if the car has been sitting more than 24 hours, there is a greater chance of having the crank no start issue.
My battery seems to be ok (12.5V with engine off, 14.2V at 1500rpm with warm engine on). I am still new to self repairs on cars and would appreciate any help. The spark plugs and timing belt were changed 8000km ago. The car is a stock kouki. I took a video of the car having trouble starting, don't know if this could help diagnose. In this instance it had trouble cranking and then started, but usually it will crank endlessly without starting until the next attempt. Do I need a new starter? Is the fuel filter clogged? |

I guess that it could be the fuel filter...
I don't think there is anything wrong with your starter if it turns your engine over every time. BTW how do I watch your video? Sarcasme is just one of the things I offer Daily driver: '92 Toyota Carina E GTI Rebuilt project: '86 Levin hatch |

Atfirst I see the rpm getting to 1000rpm->500rpm->1500rpm->1800rpm... A bit weird seeing that: mine just immediately goes to 1000rpm and if the engine is cold it goes slowly up to 2000rpm... 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |

sounds a bit like the starter is stuck the first seconds after the engine starts... that whine that it makes before it runs normally.

Thanks for the answers guys. I got bogged down with work right now so can't really spend time looking into it.
In a week or so I will clean the injectors and change the fuel filter, see if that helps and get back to you. |
