Hi everyone,
I bought a 2001 RX liberty auto a little while ago and it has developed a small problem. If i go to start the car either cold or hot, i will have to crank for a solid 5 seconds before it splutters a little bit then starts. But if i start it by cranking for a tiny bit, then wait for the engine to stop moving and then crank it again, it will fire right up without any hassle?
it currently has a crappy little battery that RAC has put in there which i intend to replace but have not gotten around to it, could this be the problem?
the car also has a pre detonating issue at around 1500rpm in second gear which i intend to try and fix today (testing the resistance of the knock sensor).
Any help would really be appreciated.
