My (N.O.S.) 2006 Magnum hemi needs to crank for several seconds before firing up. The dealer tells me that this is "normal" (what else).

The thing is, other cars I have owned start up almost instantly when the key is turned; case in point: my '87 Buick Grand National, after having been stored for three years, roared to life the moment I turned the key. Why doesn't my Magnum?

 

Might be the starter... sometime they misfire a lil extending the catch but another thing even know you have a good battery is to check the connections. A friend noticed his ride was delaying more and more until it sounded like a bad alternator click, click , click, well, it was the starter AND the batt... So, check those 2 things and it will be a start.. but don't take my word for it, jus tryn to help!

The wifes `05 does the same thing , but only on occasion not everytime. It`s been to the dealer twice , and , of course they couldn`t get it to happen to them , so they couldn`t fix it. They "said" they re-flashed the computer , and it should help , but the first time she got in it to leave , it did it again.

I`ve been told , it could be a leaking check valve in the fuel line , not holding pressure at times , and that could be the cause....
