Idling at the Lights
Hey guys,
Just bought a new legnum (yay) but have noticed that the cold start is bloody awful, anywhere between 10-15 seconds of the car choking and struggling (Please see video attached).
Wondering what this may be? I know a broad question, I've had a scan tool run over it and no errors. It does have a small battery (430cca) but I have been told that is sufficient.
I feel like the way I have to start it will destroy the starter motor which I know will be a baddd time.
Any advice of what to check would be appreciated. My mechanic up here hasn't had much to do with the VR4 engines so has only done basic troubleshooting.
It's a 96 Preface lift, 2.5 twin turbo
