I've recently replaced my fuel filter, fuel pump and starter motor so they are to be ruled out. My spark plugs seem to be fine and ive also had my coil pack tested also seems to be fine.
Basically what happens is when i kick it over it takes a while to start up sometimes 4-5 secs and when its cold in the morning even longer! On the random occasion it will actually start straight away but most of the time its very slow. I can't seem to figure out what it is, it happened ever since my last fuel pump died and i put in a new one. I have also replaced the BCM, keypad and ECU since i had them so i thought why not. My battery also seems to be healthy
One thing that may need to be looked at is when my mechanic (qualified and works from home) replaced the fuel filter, the clip was shredded from the previous person so we literally had to rip it off causing a hose to break. We replaced the hose with a little bit thicker hose and some hose clamps, no leaks although would this imply less pressure getting passed through the fuel lines?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated, it's becoming very annoying!
