I had the engine replaced in my 06 MT recently due to hydrolock, and everything is running smoothly, just as they were before. Only thing I have left to deal with is that now and then throughout the 10 or so starts each day i have, 3-4 are weak/shaky starts, and maybe 1-2 times it doesnt start at all, and i have to return/crank the key again.

Things that have come up, but are fixed:

Engine had to relearn idle, idled at about 1200-1300 when normal 7-800.
Squeaky pulley.

So my question is this: what do you guys think the issue with the ignition is? I haven't had the time to have it looked at yet, but I intend to soon.

More info:
Car Miles: 190k
New Engine Miles: 50k
Clutch was replaced with engine, so ~300 miles

Thank you for any info you guys can give.

 

Did the problems start before or after the clutch installation?

 

Clutch was replaced same time as engine.

 

Wow, how did I miss that?

Sorry, I don't have any suggestions for you. Search the forum, there are some good threads about starting issues.

 

does it make a noise when u start and it doesn't turn over? it could b the battery not giving enough juice, it could b the flywheel the installed sucks so it grinds, u need more detail or a vid of said incident but if u gonna get it checked out then it wont matter what we tell u, the mechanic is gonna trouble shoot it his way anyways
