HELP Problems with 07 G/CS
Hey Guys,
I am having a problem with the way my car is starting first thing in the morning or when the car has sat for a couple of hours. First thing in the morning, the car will take longer than usual to crank and start slow almost like it needs fuel or something. Then, if I immediatly turn off the car, it will start normal. I replaced the battery this weekend with one that has 800 cold crank amps but got the same result. Where should I look now? Could it possibly be the starter or alternator? Thanks for the help.

No expert here, but, if the car starts back better in the second try, I can't see the battery or alternator being the problem since they would be weaker the second time.
Sounds like a fuel related issue IMO( pump, relay etc...).

in the morning, instead of turning the
ignition all the way to "start" in one
motion, i would go to "on", give it
2 - 3 seconds, then proceed to "start"
if this improves the situation, then like
pascal says, it could be a fuel pump
or fuel flow issue
ignition all the way to "start" in one
motion, i would go to "on", give it
2 - 3 seconds, then proceed to "start"

So if a fuel issue I should probably just take it in to the dealer and have them look at it.

If you do, make it a point to leave it overnight, so they can crank it first thing in the morning.
That way they can really have a feel of the behavior.

Are you familiar with old British cars?
