Yes, and from time to time it doesnt start the 1st go but thats normally on a hot day and rarely happens....tho this time it was pretty apparent this time round
driving to South Aus recently. Drove for about 200-300km at a time till i pulled over for a break. Some times it would start perfect and others was rough.
Was almost thinking the Crank Angle Sensor is playing up..... but havent had it checked so dont know that for sure.

Yes I have the exact problem as you described. Ahh it pisses me off so bad. Especially when you have mates in the car and it sounds like a tractor engine cranking over. If you figure it out please let me know ;)

Surely someone would have come accross such a problem and fixed it. I to have that problem on my car and it pisses the sh-- out of me and no matter how much I try to explain to people they just don't know where the sound is coming from and I have to live with diesel like start ups (when warm). Theres gota be some mechanics on this forum that know what the problem is.
