Message: <blockquote data-quote="jgsh" data-source="post: 2002085" data-attributes="member: 11235">Hi there,I am having this cold start problem. When my car is left "parked" for > 5hrs (approx.), I find it rather difficult to start. I can crank and crank and it just won't start. I can tell the starter's working though. If I leave the key position to the "start" long enough, it'll kick in, CHOKINGLY! I can feel the whole engine vibrating as if it's gasping for air/fuel.On a different startup attempt, the moment I depressed the accelerator a little (during cold start), the car cranks smoothly, no choking whatsoever.Also, once the "first" cold start is successful, all subsequent start is a breeze!These had been looked at:a. Battery replacedb. Starter replacedc. Spark plugs replacedd. Engine oil level oke. Air filter replacedAfter enquiring around, here are the summary of the "usual" suspects:a. Failing alternator - if so, wouldn't I have this problem on every start? (I only have this problem when car left "parked" for a long time)b. Fuel pumpc. Distributor - same as "a"?d. Cold start valve - Been searching through the FSM, can't seem to identify the location of it.Any thoughts?</blockquote>
