on my 91 Si... starting it up cold. i swear that i just touch the key to ON position and its running.. it doesnt even cycle once. like this morning, it hadnt been running for atleast a day.. and it still started instantly. on my 89 dx it usually cycles 1-3 times before it idles.
im just wondering if the previous owner messed around with something... or is this how its supposed to be.? :confused:

Mine does that too.. As soon as it touches on it will start.
Thread jack - Today I was going to race this guy I work with who drives a Neon R/T and my car wouldn't start because I left my lights on all night so he had to give me a boost so I could go whip his a$$. :) /threadjack

Talon TSi is the only car I've raced that I've lost to since I got my swap. His was modded I think though, but he jumped me like over 4 cars off the line, by the end he beat me .09 of a second. :swear:

When I cleaned up my cap and rotor my car started up a little easier.
