hey guys, i have an 01 gt and im having problems when i go to start it... it turnsover but it wont start until i let it crank for a while and let go of the key. any idea on whether its a sensor or something?

 

check your spark plugs....fuel filter. how many miles are on the car

 

fuel filter is new, plugs shouldnt that be bad.. ther are about 70k miles on it! thanks for the help

 

does it crank and crank and crank and not start up, but eventually, it starts every time? kinda common, nobody seems to know the cause due to the intermittent nature of the problem.

 

yea it starts everytime i jus have to crank it for a while and then when i let go of the key, it starts

 

Try this.....

When you turn the key and it starts to crank.... tap the gas a little and open up that TB. I found out I was running pig rich and had trouble turning over after the turn. All I have to do now is tap the gas when turning it over and it turns over after the 2nd crank.

 

thanks alot ill try it out!

 

mines has the same problem but its not all the time

Since they are electric fuel pump turn the key to acc and wait a couple of seconds then start it
ive notice it does it less when you do this
