How does your 3.2 start?
 
From a cold start, does it fire up right away or take a (literal) couple seconds of cranking?

Always very quick, even after sitting for a few weeks.

I would guess about 1.2 seconds of cranking. However, it's not like I time it.

Mine starts just like ordinary cars, that is, after 2 or 3 seconds of cranking, cold or hot.

Listen to the opening of this video.

That's my car door closing (still love that sound!) and then my car starting on a damp, foggy morning on day 2 of the 850 mile trip from Houston TX to Tuscaloosa AL.

And then me going, "Oh yeah....."

:)

Anybody else got audio or video of their car sounds??

If mine takes more that just a couple of spins, I know something is wrong with it, as it fires up very quickly.

Rot 911 08-19-2008 05:27 AM

Normally within 1-2 seconds.

rouxroux 08-19-2008 06:35 AM

Both of our 3.2's fire right up.

Crank, crank....slap, slap...like that.;)

Zef 08-19-2008 08:29 AM

Quicker when cold than hot.

911 Rod 08-19-2008 09:33 AM

Pretty much instant.

Nice video. I've been along many of those same roads. Good stuff.

Mine upon startup after my rebuild.....can't remember if it was already running when I recorded it, or started it up as part of the video? This computer doesn't have Flash player.

Mine starts immediately hot or cold.

dshepp806 08-19-2008 12:51 PM

500 ms to 1.2 second,..everytime (so far, that is),..cold temps seem to turn her on faster.

Best,

Doyle

Mattcamp 08-19-2008 12:51 PM

Less than a second or maybe right at 1 second.

jcunning 08-19-2008 02:16 PM

About 1 to 1.5 seconds for me as well.
