[QUOTE="flash, post: 139965, member: 62"] Ahhhh, someone with the same problem as what I am suffering now. Initially my car started out with erratic idling. Checked all hoses, fuel pump, fuel filter, ICV, etc, etc. Changed some parts. Idling better but still erratic and kena occasional hard starting problems. Traced to faulty MAF. Changed the MAF and now my idling is better, though not perfect yet. Could be due to ICV which needs to be serviced. But I still have that occasional hard starting. Oh, forgot to mention, my crankshaft sensor is ok. Then I noticed it.... if I were to crank the engine immediately before waiting for the dashboard lights to go out, the engine cranks immediately. If I were to wait that few seconds for the dashboard lights to go out, then I would to crank for a few seconds. The symptom is almost like having flooded the engine with fuel before starting. So its like having to clear the cylinders from the excess fuel before the engine will fire. So it looks like I have leaking injectors and perhaps my fuel regulator is faulty.... something to look at the next round I visit the mech.... [/QUOTE]
