my 93 acura legend ls... takes a couple seconds to start if it is left overnight or hasnt been driven in a while.. but after that it turns over right away.. is this a problem that could get worst in the future? what do u think this could be? once it starts it runs fine and does not die or sputter or anything

txlegend10 · 08-24-06, 02:58 PM

Get the battery tested it could be losing it's charge.

Early signs of fuel pump??

i had the same problem a few months ago. It wouldn't start and it would take longer and longer as time went along. Changed the battery and all problems went away.
GO to your local autostore, they can check to see if its your battery or alternator for free.
