starting question

[dirtydx]

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.?

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

just means the ignitor / starter system is in tip top shape

mine only starts like that whens its warmed up, if its cold it takes almost 5 seconds of cranking

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.

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