Why does my car take longer to start sometimes?
A: Possible causes: a marginal battery, a poor connection in the starting circuit or starter, a charging-system problem, or the battery is being drained while the car’s parked. If the slow cranking occurs after driving (engine hot), it’s likely a faulty starter or poor charging.
Why does my car start sometimes and other times not?
If your car starts intermittently, a broken fuse or broken wiring can be the culprit, since damaged wires to the battery or the starter solenoid prevent the power from reaching the starter. If the starter goes bad, it can cause a lack of power to the car and cause the car to start intermittently.
Can a bad ground cause a slow crank?
A bad grounded starter motor or fault ground connection can also cause the starter motor to crank slowly or not at all. Make sure the starter motor case is making a tight and clean contact with he engine. Then, check the starter motor voltage drop. You should get a voltage reading of 0.5 volts or less.
What does it mean when your car cranks longer than normal?
The kit comes with 2 copper contacts and a plunger. It takes around 20 minute of work to replace. After the car is sitting for ~3 or more hours, it takes longer from cranking to starting. Does this mean the starter motor is running whenever you want it to, but sometimes it cranks for a longer time than usual before the engine starts?
What’s the difference between short and long MTB crank arms?
In 2010, Paul William Macdermid of New Zealand released a study showing shorter cranks can be more beneficial to mountain bikers than longer cranks. Macdermid focused on the effects of 170, 172.5 and 175mm crank arms on performance measures relevant to female XC riders.
What should the crank length be on a mountain bike?
“Crank length on mountain bikes is pretty random. It seems to be a one-size-fits-all approach with little thought being given to it. If you were going to default to one length and put it on every size bike, then it should probably be 170mm.
What should I do if my fuel pump keeps cranking?
Once you hear the pump turn off, try to start the rig. Let us know if it starts normally, or if there is still an extended cranking. You can also do the same thing before a cold start, and compare how long the fuel pump runs. Recently had that problem.
