Car wont start in mornings

[tydon]

Version 2 wrx wont start after being left over night .

Battey is defintely good.

Once you jump start it it will crank over easy as and doesnt seem to have any issues after that. wi

i replaced the starter motor

Could it possibly be alternator?

or igniter?

[shore_boy]

Will it crank before being jump started?

[tydon]

nah it wont crank over untill jumper cables are on just clicks when turning key.

Definately points to battery crapping itself...cold mornings make batteries weaker, and if its old then that may just be the tipping point.

[tydon]

well batterys new lol and always has a green light on it it was defintely good battery on my RS never failed

[tydon]

had the same problem with another battrey that was good so defintely not battery lol.

[shore_boy]

Potentially the leads to the started or the fluid level of the battery.

You checked battery on a multimeter?

If you can rolling start I would look toward the starter leads.

[tydon]

hmm starter leads are they easy to replace? i know starter is good i replaced it and the batterys good to it will start my missus car fine tested it fluid level in it is good to

[shore_boy]

I couldn\'t tell you if they\'re easy to replace or not sorry. You could also try to run the starter on the battery? That way you can eliminate the possibility of a faulty starter and move on to the leads.

Check if you have a drain on the battery also from dodgy deck wiring or similar.

[tydon]

how do i check drain on battery?.

once the cars jump started for the day it starts fine for rest of the day. Its only when i go to start it in the morning.

Starter seems to be good one aswell.

As before i replaced it the old starter wouldnt click when you turn key

With a multimeter just see what amps its drawing. On your travels pop into your nearest A/E shop and get them to test your battery its free anywhere and it might be nyaffed regardless of it working fine sometimes.

[tydon]

went to wreckers and he gave me another starter to try and an ignition switch aswell to check . Battery is good so have elimnated that. gunna try this new starter motor as he said the other one he gave me mayb be stuffed aswell.... lol will report back

[tydon]

itl also push start fine to havent tested new starter yet damn rain

[tmuff88]

I had the same issue with my v2, sometimes it doesn\'t start in the morning randomly. Ended up being the starter motor. The mechnic took it out and cleaned it. Now it starts fine.

[tydon]

yeah seriosuly starting to think its starter and the replacement one i got was just pooped aswell. so went to fit another new one and it didnt fit hahaha great il get another tomorrow

[Rosssub]

Are your battery terminals clean and very tight? Any dirty/corroded or loose earths?

Hey bro, Sorry to hear that there is more problems with you ride.. I\'m guessing that the car cranks over either way(ie with 1or2 batterys) but only starts on cold crank when there are jumpers on? If thats the case then it will more than likely be a worn out fuel pump, reason being is, A fuel pump on cold crank receives from 8-10volts when using a standard car battery because of the current draw a worn out fuel pump will not provide enough deliver and pressure to atomize the fuel properly and the car simply wont start under these conditions but it maybe a different story@ 14or12 volts on start up(when adding anther battery or jumping from another car) as there will be enough voltage for the pump to atomize the fuel on startup

Also the reason why you can start the car after driving it and not when its left sitting for hours is because the battery\'s float charge.. the amperage on cold crank is less than when warm so the voltage drops more on cold starts which starves the fuel pump of needed power

Now remove the fuel cap to de-pressurize the fuel tank and remove the fuel line hose, place the hose in and small bottle and get a mate to start the car when cold.. ..if its not gushing out then theres your problem 100%

Hope that helps ya..

Cheers Layden.

ok went to start car this morning and it did!!! lol weird i put the old starter back on and itl crank everytime now.

although when i went to change and try a diffrent igntion switch there was a a clear plug that wasnt plugged in so i plugged back in.

somethings fixed it anyways really weird

[loner]

Might a temporary fix... I had a similar problem... it was the starter... make sure all the terminals on the starter are clean... open it up,

clean everything, re-grease... good as new.

Can do some checks for you if you like next week, only problem being it\'ll be in the evening not first thing on a cold morning
