Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / January 2004A petrol that thinks its a diesil.
'99 406 2L. Curious question. How is it that, if I try to start the car as soon as I put the key in, it takes a couple of seconds to fire, sometimes. If I leave ign on for a couple of seconds first, it starts instantly ? James > '99 406 2L.

Immobiliser chip in key maybe??? > > > '99 406 2L.

I presume that ign wouldn't switch on at all if immob not working yet ? maybe fuel pump, but again, presume there is some fuel in carb or whatever. Just curious really >> > Gives time for the fuel pump to get fuel to the engine? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > ? maybe fuel pump, but again, presume there is some fuel in carb or > whatever. The car doesn't have a carb - it's fuel injected, so no float bowl full of fuel. If this only occurs when the car has been sat for some time, then I would definitely imagine it's the fuel pump. > Just curious really Jolly good. keep it up. > '99 406 2L.

Does it take time to build up the voltage required for the coils? my wifes punto ( i hate them too) takes 2 seconds from inserting the key before you can start it. Firstly to recognise the key code and seco0ndly you hear a motor run and a relay click off which i assume is the fuel injection pre-arming/filling. start it before and no chance. after and you need no throttle just turn the key. > > '99 406 2L.

I find it almost amusing, that my 30 year old Volkswagen starts virtually by looking at the key, & beats the 4 year old pug every time ! Nevermind, at least it has heating ! James |
