I don´t know how to call this, i wan to know if this is a problem or just normal,
Today arrive at home and after 4 hours more or less, need to go out and takes more time than "normal" to start, sometimes i just move a the key and start very fast, i noticed this two or three times...
Any advice please..
Thanks

Mine seems to start very quiclky everytime when using the key, but when I use the remote start, I hit the lock button and then it says to hold the start button for two seconds , but it sometimes takes three or four. I guess this could be a symptom of the same problem if there is a problem.

Sorry forgot to say, is a HHR,2.4 manual, so i don´t have a remote starter..

equus.....

can you supply a little more detail in...."a little more than normal to start"?

Are you saying, for example, that the engine is "cranking" for 3 or 4 seconds before starting?

Are you turning the key and NOTHING happens for several seconds?

Are you turning the key and you hear a clicking sound, then the car starts?


As for my experience...... I have NONE of these problems. My HHR, 2.4, auto. starts immediately everytime.....even with the remore start.

Yes it is this is the correct option :)

Could be the fuel pump, a few members have reported problems/repairs.

Our '06 had to have it's fuel pump replaced, there was a TSB on this I believe also.

I had the fuel pump problem on my HHR. With mine, the only time I had trouble was after I had been driving, shut the car off for a bit (15 minutes to an hour) and try to start, it would crank for a long time before finally starting. They found the fuel pump would lose pressure. Fuel pump was replaced and no problems since. Good luck.

Mizzou...your description sounds pretty close to equus' problem. Makes sense also:thumb:

i will talk with the dealer about this ..
Thanks guys..
