intermittent startup issues
Moderator: martauto
hi i wonder if you guys can help me, i've got an E30 320i but every now an again after doing a resonable journey ie 40 miles round trip, and you turn it off for about half hour try and start her back up again and it takes about 8 turns before she fires. i was wondering if i had a oxygen sensor / lambda sensor getting on a bit

Mines a bit funny sometimes too. When i turn the engine off at a shop for example then go to start her again i have to pump the hell out of the accelerator. Somethings not right. Any ideas as it can be embarrassing when people are admiring your car and she doesn't fire up 1st time. any ideas?
My iS is funny too. Sometimes when i go to start it it just keeps turning the engine over. Thurn off the key and then turn it back on and it starts fine. Yea i agree can be very embarrasing. Thats when it is moet likely to do it.
