Yes, I'm under warranty. I usually want to have a good idea of whats really wrong with the car before I take it to the dealer. "Have you had the Trionic updated..." No? Was this a service bulletin item? How will the dealer identify this as the problem? As for the fuel pressure causing the long start, that could be it. I would guess its fairly easy to check the fuel pressure after a few hours and compare psi with what is supposed to be there. There is probably a range/tolerance for this, so dealer can check that. I'll probably take the car in at the 25K miles checkup and have them look into this. Its got 21K now, and I do 1K/month. I don't think this problem is serious enough to rush into the dealer now, but I hope 4 months is not too long. - Mel "meme meme" <splitscreen69nopsamsnet.com.au> wrote in message news:<3d3a1b63$0$16943$afc38c87nopsam.optusnet.com.au>... > Have you had the Trionic updated as this is one of the signs of a faulty > one. > "Four Weis" <mweinopsamcom> wrote in message > news:3D38A7D1.929D29FAnopsamcom... > > Assuming this car is still under warranty, I would take it to the dealer > > and get it checked out.
