I HAVE AN 03 COBRA, 32,000 MILES ON IT.....AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES A COUPLE SECONDS FOR IT TO TURN OVER AND START, AND THE RPM'S WILL SLOWLY CREEP UP(THE RPM'S DONT JUMP UP LIKE WHEN ITS FIRST STARTED)......THIS WILL HAPPEN WHEN I SHUT IT OFF, THEN COME BACK A FEW MIN LATER AND TURN IT BACK ON.......JUST WONDERING IF THE HARD START IS COMMON ON THESE CARS? IF NOT, WHAT MIGHT BE THE PROBLEM? THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE REPLY'S

 

any mods on the car or check engine light? r u saying when you turn the key the started doesnt pic up and it takes it a few seconds to start to turn the engine?

 

mods on the car are smaller pulley, x pipe no cats w/magnaflow mufflers, no check engine light, got it tuned and dynoed 2 weeks ago...but it was doing it before then, any thoughts of what it could be? or is this normal?

 

Turn the key all the way but don't start it. Let the fuel pump kick on first, then push the gas pedal only about 1inch in and start it. Should take care of your problem.

 

will do, so is this a common thing for the 03-04 cobras? just making sure

 

^^ Mine does this and so does my buddies 03. My buddy gave me the idea of what I mentioned above and it works for both me and him.

 

so your saying to turn the key to the point where the aux comes on, push in the gas pedal about an inch, then turn it on??

 

Correct, You should be able to hear the fuel pump kick on.

 

should do this all the time in the winter 4 ne car right bra?

 

Yep it helps make your fuel pump last longer!
