Hard to start

lmmr74 · 01-04-2012, 10:02 AM

I forgot to mention that the car runs great, the only thing is that after shut the engine off it's hard to get it started...but when it starts it runs smoothly.
Is heat soak inevitable?? I never heard about this problem before, in other cars/brands...what to do in order to prevent it?

Thanks for the help!

I just told you what it sounds like and what to check first. I have seen this before on vehicles I've worked on; While it isn't common it's not rare either.
