Hey peeps.

 

got an ej251 in my loyale, anyways.. i engage the starter and it turns the engine over for probably 5-10 seconds before starting.. however, if i engage the starter for maybe 6-8 rotations (1-2 seconds?), stop, and then engage it again, it starts right up.

 

any ideas on this?

 

few thoughts i had were:

bad alternator?

IAC?

fuel delivery? (fuel pressure was good on a fuel pressure gauge)

 

would love some insight on where to go with this if you can help...

as always.. much thanks in advance.
