Starting Time... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

BlackSheepz · 04-17-2016

Hello again all, I was just wondering how long it takes most of your cars to start?

I've looked around the web a lot and I've seen a lot of different answers floating around. (1 second -15 seconds i've read is normal but that seems weird).

In any of the videos I've found on youtube most of the ZR-1s start 1-3 seconds after the key is turned. I've been counting when I've started mine and it usually takes 4-6 seconds to start, but it does it every time. When I first got the car it seemed like it took FOREVER to start, but now the 5 seconds doesn't seem so bad.

Is my 5 second start time a problem? If it's a problem what potential problems could this be?

Injectors starting to go? (have them in a box with the gaskets just need to find the time)

Battery just getting tired maybe? (it's from 2013 it says, but the car wasn't driven much before me)

Starter?

Car starts just fine, the 4-6 seconds seems like a long time though.

Thanks in Advance!

Marc
