    Default 2.2i Reluctant to start

    Hi all, picked up my 2.2 SRI today (2006) and am overall pleased but it seems a little hesitant to start it up?

    You turn the key, and it turns over quite a few times before starting. Any ideas on what is up?

    Guys, sorry to ressurect this but i need to try and get to the bottom of it

    Car has been serviced and scanned for faults this weekend, came back with P1112 which i believe is the swirl flaps?

    That being said, the car does not display any warning lights and the pedal test didnt appear to show anything. They couldnt confirm whether it was a stored fault or a current fault.

    Could this be affecting it starting?

    It is pretty much fine from cold, fine from hot, it's when it has been left for a short while, just turns over for ages then fires up slowly.

    What should i be checking?

    Thanks for the input,

    Only an oil change and gearbox oil change amongst the little things, so wasnt expecting it to fix it, just got the code read at the same time.

    I phoned VX and it wasnt due for a fuel pump recall if that's what you meant?

    it drives beatiufully, the only issue is literally with the starting which should in theory narrow it down !

    Was thinking about running a tank of 99 through it to see if the extra punch (if it actually exists) might ease it starting.

    No the peddle test wil not work on the 2.2. Have you checked the plugs?

    Are they easy to get to on the vectra? It has a very slightly lumpy idle but otherwise works fine so thought plugs might affect it all the time? Battery is fine it doEsnt have any problems tuning over just kicking in
