Re: Delayed start problem
Sounds normal to me, you must give the computer time to run it's
diagnosis. A common reason why the on board error code is not displayed,
people won't wait before starting the on and off sequence.

Thanks, I'll keep this in mind but I'm afraid that one day it just
won't start if I let it go on like this. In fact, on a recent trip to
the mountans where it was pretty cold, I had to be towed part way down
until it just decided to start again. It seems the cold is a major
factor here.
