starting problem. can take 15 trys to start.

this started a few days ago. before that perfect everytime..

I'm got 2 new'ish batteries fitted to my jimny. in parallel. as such it cranks over pretty strong.

it starts better from cold, could still take 3 to 15 try's, and you've got no chance of starting with a warm engine.

once it's running, it's smooth, not lumpy, no mis firming. normal power delivery :huh:

so far I've fitted new bosch spark plugs and a new crankshaft sensor. then disconnected the battery to hopefully reset the ECU.

now i'm beaten.

any idea's ?

cheers Jon

Crank sensor

think hes already fitted one

what engine is it . single cam or twin cam?

Haha I didn't read that bit my bad

Its the 16v

M13AA I believe.

Yes its got a brand new geniue suzuki crankshaft sensor.

Right when it comes to electrics I am bloody useless but......when I had the job of selling 4500 old ser 3 ex-mod land rovers we used to start them using a jump pack and on the stubbern ones flick it over to 24v and they would start a treat but it would screw the coil up and then always be a problem to start. I know if 2 batteries are wired in a certain way they produce 24v as opposed to 12v. Have you or are you putting 24v through to system and damaged your coil packs? I might be talking bollox but....then again it might help.
