[QUOTE="yohannes, post: 600912, member: 24653"] Left the car in my office car park for about 4 hours since morning. At lunch time tried turning the ignition without cranking the engine and leaving it for 1 minute before cranking. Didn't help and it was still difficult to start. Had to crank quite a number of times and for quite long each time. At the final try, I cranked the engine and fully depressed the accelerator the moment the engine was coming to life and managed to start it. After successful starting and driving some distance, tried shutting off the engine and starting again and it was good as new . Did this a few times along the way to lunch and did not have any problems as well. After leaving it for 1 hour over lunch, the engine started with a little of 'bob bob bob' sound and was fine within seconds. Conclusion is that whenever I leave the car for a longer period, the problem surfaces. In the event that it is a problem with the fuel delivery, why is it that only 2 cycinders specifically 2 & 3 are misfiring? [/QUOTE]
