Hey folks been having a slight problem with my 2003 STI. When its cold the car wont turn over first time and 9 / 10 times turns over second time. Could this be a coil pack issue. I used to get a right smell of fuel but now that it has been remapped its okay just wont turn over.

when it does turn over it sits @ 1500 revs and i have to give it a little rev to drop it below the fully tick over

anyone help

cheers

steve

 

mine does the same thing

 

Battery ?

 

Mine takes a while to fire in the cold. I think it just takes a while to get a good spark. The reason for the car idling at 1500 is beacuse the choke is on, by bliping the throttle you're knocking the choke off.

 

cheers for the replies folks battery is near enough brand new after my other one was found to be faulty with regards to the choke

i hope im not preventing the choke from doing its job by bliping the throttle am i ?
