hi everyone, i m new on this forum, so please I beg your pardon if I might do some mistakes.
i recently boght a suzuki jimny 2013 1.3l m13engine
i discovered at once that when the engine is cold it takes a few sec more to fire up. Today (temperature 6 celsius) the engine didn't fire up at once but on the second try.
what could be the cause of this?
Do you know how old the battery is - don't be too quick to dismiss the idea - especially if you're in a colder climate - the additional load cranking a cold engine over with a cold battery can allow the battery voltage to drop just enough that it doesn't fire.
On the second attempt the current through the battery from the first attempt warms it enough. that it delivers more power.
At least look at the battery voltage whilst cranking to see how far it drops, anything lower than around 9~10V and you just might have found the problem.
When you say doesn't fire for a few seconds what are you talking about 5, 15, 30 seconds of churning or what? They don't just spring off the first touch of the key especially when cold, not like a Toyota that you almost only need to think about turning the key to be running.
