MY00 starting issues
#3
Hello, I suppose its time to introduce my self, Thanks Steve for posting this on my behalf.
The car has always been a slow starter, I have had it for a few days now and I honestly didn't think it was going to start first time I saw it as it had been sat in a garage and not moved for some time.
Its got better but this morning it wouldn't fire first turn of the key, second time it fired instantly
The standing voltage of the battery is 12.65.
Ill charge up the battery this morning and see if that makes a difference to the start.
Thanks all,

Battery looks newish, but I think its been aloud to sit low for a few months.
It did seem to start quicker and turn over faster after charge, ill take it off later and leave it charge overnight.
I normally leave them a lot longer but I wanted to see if it was deff battery related

Go to your local tyre place or motorists shop that sells car batteries and ask them to test your battery with a drop tester then you will know the state of your battery.

the second video sounds like mine and my battery is bigger and more cranking amps than the one subaru say ..
sounds to me if its been sat a while evan though it looks new it could off dropped a cell, or not holding a charge ..
charge it up over night then try ,,if after a few days it still struggles try a new battery at about £50 from my local factors not sure where you are if the new battery goes flat or starts to struggle then you got something draining the battery besides the alarm .
some classics have dodgy earths in the engine bay area

I have had the battery tested and the CCA was 99% of the battery spec, great voltage so they said its unlikely to be a battery issue.
I left it on a trickle charge last night and cleaned some earth points up, cleaned the boost solenoid and checked the coil packs for damage as well as having a general tidy up in the engine bay area
Started fine this morning :
Ill keep an eye on it..

Well, it properly wont start now.
Im getting fuel, its got new correctly gapped plugs, the fuel pump primes. It just turns over and over with no firing.
Run absolutely fine all day yesterday, it seems its more cold start related than a hot start issue.

This is doing my head in, I have had it started a number of times this morning all fine, then with out even taking the key out of the ignition after a short drive it refuses to start again
