Does anyone have problems starting their TSX on occasion?
I noticed, occasionally, I can turn the key and the starter will turn but not catch, even if I hold for @ 6 -8 sec.
I noticed this first right after the dealer programmed another key into the computer. At that time I had the car for about 2 weeks, and I have not had a single mis-start before. Also, few days before I took the car to the dealer, I installed an alarm in it, and while doing that I was occasionally disconnecting the battery. Few days later when I took the car for state inspection it failed because they said they couldn't see enough emmissions history. They told me that's because I had the battery disconnected. So they said I had to drive the car for a week and come back. I did that and a week later my car passed the inspection. During that week, the car still, on occasion, would not start the first time. This happened very rarely for me, but it would be common for my wife or a parking attendant. That guy had to try start it about 3 times, every time, before it finally cought! But with time I noticed that this stopped and the car was starting fine every time. Until I took it for State re-inspection a week and a half later. Right after that I had a single mis-start again. And then I had few more over the next few days.
Is this something like the computer tweaking itself every time after it's accessed? Or is this I should let the dealer check?
