    Default major issues starting

    just brief intro of car first
    2006 holden statesman v6 running on duel fuel vapor injected
    kms 215000 its a taxi
    so when the engine goes cold it will take like 10-11 cranks to start the engine. after its hot no probs starts in one go. the other day it had it it wouldnt start at all had to tow it to mechanic changed the petrol fuel module(i think thats whats its called) and it started after a while. They cleaned the fuel injectors they said one was blocked.
    Now its still having trouble starting an suggestions.

    If its the old school vapour injection it may have a dicky priming system.
    Usualy they prime with a small amount of gas and sounds like yours is not doing that.

    If you have a gas start option, try it. Usually the change-over switch will allow gas start but holding the button in for 10 seconds or something like that. Let us know how you go.

    if its meant to be starting on petrol the you prolly have a fuel leak. an old skyline of mine had a leaky regulator which meant the fuel would drain out overnight and take quite a few cranks to fill the line back up again.
