some of the reasons for that may be that after a while the timing belt streches and the static timing start getting a little bit off.simply have your static timing(ignition timing) corrected and it should help that anoying problem go away. if done correctly the vehicle will start as soon as you turn that key.

You may not be building fuel pressure quickly enough. Turn on the key for a second before engaging the starter. That will give the fuel pump a chance to build pressure, and if that's the problem it should't bother you any more.

What would cause a 1986 Toyota celica engine to die when driving it but will start right back up?

Fuel filter may be clogging up enough to not provide enough gasoline to keep the engine running, but will accumulate enough gasoline in it to re-start the vehicle.

Why would a Ford Explorer stall on cold mornings after the first start then run OK on the second or third start?

Answer(this is if it is cold outside.( the first start- your engine block is cold and it is sucking in cold air, it does not like that so it stalls. the second and third start the engine is a little warmer, which it likes so it is able to run.Yes that is why it will stall, but to stop that you may need to replace some sensors on you vehicle. There are a lot of sensors that could cause this problem. Your idle control valve, mass air flow sensor, temperature sender unit, throttle position sensor, or you just need a tune up. The best thing to do is have your vehicle scanned and see what the technician would suggest first. All of these sensors are about a hundred dollars each, so good luck. I am having the same problem and it's just a process of elimination.


How do you start a car with auto transmission with bad starter?

You don't. You replace the starter and then start the car. In the past with older cars you could push start the car with an A/T and it would start at around 35 mph, but with modern transmissions I highly recommend against doing this. You may damage the transmission.

How long does the glow plug light stay on the dash for mine turns off after a second and wont start?

It would depend upon what vehicle you are talking about and the ambient temperature. But it sounds like it is not staying on long enough, if you can't get vehicle to start. The ones I'm familiar with usually are on for about 15 - 30 seconds.


Why do you have to pump the accelerator to start the car?

It would depend on the vehicle. If the vehicle has a carburetor, the pumping action primes the engine with fuel to help start the engine. If the vehicle has fuel injection, pumping is not required.


Can a bad spark plug cause a vehicle not to start?

It COULD, but multiple plugs would have to be very fouled. If just one has gone bad, the vehicle would still start, but would just be "missing" on that one cylinder.


In a one way 3 lane road who has the right of way - a vehicle entering from the rightmost lane to center lane or the vehicle from the leftmost lane entering the center lane?

How do you bypass a starter to start a car?

You typically can't bypass the starter - that is, after all, what actually turns the engine over to start the vehicle. If you have a manual shift vehicle, it is possible to roll start the vehicle. The key needs to be in the on position. You would roll the vehicle while it's in neutral, jump in, and shift it into gear.
