Went to start the m20b25 today, fitted battery turned key, click fron the starter and all dash lights go off. Strange :? i turned key back and forward. Nothing at all. did it again and lights came back on, went to start same thing again :? 3rd time it turned over with plenty of speed but didnt fire deffintly not a flat battery, its fully charged and about 6 month old. 5th time it did the same turned over with plenty of speed but didnt fire.

Then 6th time it turned over and fired straight away :? :?

could this be because the ecu hasnt had power for a few weeks ?

obviosly when the car becomes my daily i want it to be reliable :mad:
