Hey guys,
A month ago during a service I had the battery checked (and replaced after it was found bad) because my RR seemed to be cranking slow during starts. Now a few times a week, there are times when it cranks fine but once I let off of the ignition, it takes a couple of seconds before it picks up and idles. Seems to "blubber" a second or two and then picks up and idles and runs fine after that. I can't tell if it is loading up, not getting enough gas/air or what? With this and other vehicles, I always wait a second or two for the fuel pump to "prime" once I first turn the key before I hit the "start" phase of the ignition but this doesn't seem to have an effect on this. However, if I ride the starter for an extra second or two, it seems to help prevent the "blubber" a little but tough to tell since it doesn't do it each time. Doesn't do it on each start, just a few times a week and lately I am thinking it does it more often when I am at a 1/4 tank or less though this could be coincidence. Have also made sure to fill up at different locations to prevent the chance of any water in the system but that should be ruled out as it runs fine after starting. Also, no fault codes. Not sure if it fuel, mass air sensor or what?
Any ideas or help would are always greatly appreciated. Looks like I am headed to the dealer next week.. :think:
