[s-cars] S6 no start fun

Sounds like the infamous cam position sensor.  Gave it time to cool down and it worked.

Subject: [s-cars] S6 no start fun


Well, the 17 year old was had the S6 last night at his girlfriends and they
made a run to Chik-Fil-A .and the car wouldn't start when they tried to
leave.  Conversation over the phone was along the lines of " what's wrong?
It won't start.  What does it do?  It won't start.maybe it's the starter?
Does it turn over?  It won't start!"  SO I headed out.  And guess what?  It
wouldn't start!  

 

He somehow couldn't relate that it turned over and cranked.and cranked,
without any weakness in the battery.  Nothing to see under the hood.  The
new injectors weren't leaking..no fuel smell.  Too hot an engine to do
anything with, so I took them back the the gf's house to kill some time and
finally met the parents, after several months.

 

Went back over about 90 minutes later and.it fired right up.  Possible
culprits?  If it was a coil pack or PSD, the thing would likely start and
run crappy, right?  This took down the whole thing, so I'm thinking higher
up electrically or some fuel system issue that was at work.  Warm evening,
but cooler than it's been.  What do you think?  Am I missing something
obvious?

 

He just said that he had to give it gas to get it started some mornings the
past week???  Never experienced that with the car before.  The starter is
touchy after the ignition switch failure that did not let the starter
disengage for a while, but that wasn't an issue last night when I tried to
start it.  Just went out and the initial crank was 'heavy', and then it spun
up and started, but did seem to need gas to get going.  First time it's done
that for me.why do these things develop on every can he drives??!  One week
of driving him and his sister to and from school.

 

And of course, a Saturday night leaving Sunday to figure what it might be.
Please let me know your thoughts.  Been asking for help and awful lot
lately.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve
