Does your evo start right away ?
When you start your car does it start right away, meaning I have to crank my 11 evo x for good 2 sec for it to start. I know it's not a lot but my other cars start right up.
I don't even know how to explain but I expect to turn key once and vroom, not hold the key ching, ching, ching and vroom.
I have a feeling I'm gona get a lot of about this.
Anyway please let me know how your cars start.
Thanks

Yes the X's have a slight starting hesitation compared to the 8/9 for some reason.

2 secs seems like a bit too long though. Is your car stock or modified and tuned?

Mine came with a handle that I have to put in the front of the car and crank by hand.

sorry didn't notice this was a X thread - didn't mean for that to be a comparison. in any case 2 seconds is long - is it a full two seconds?

For something like this you're going to be better off finding a few other local X's and comparing vs. them in person.

Sometimes it's really slow to start up, but most of the time it starts right up.
