Hey guys,
Got an AU XR6 VCT ute with 265k ks on it, 5 speed manual (if it makes a difference) that consistently takes ages to start This is what happens every time - Crank for a second or two - it splutters as it gets fuel - not enough fuel to run, if you stop cranking it instantly stalls - keep cranking and it'll jump to life after ~5 seconds Its running a full exhaust (extractors, high flow cat (has a small leak around a weld), one big muffler), has a pod on the standard intake piping. I always run 98 in it, and I give it a flogging :P So far I've done - Replace fuel filter - New plugs - New leads + coilpack - Service - Cleaned the throttle body / intake When its cold it seems to bunnyhop a little bit (especially while turning), but this seems to be better since I did the coilpack and leads. It did also have a misfire when going full blast in 1st sometimes, but again that seems to be fixed Heres a video of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxyBpOIvHwg My thoughts are now that it could be fuel pump?

Is the fuel pump priming when turning the key? Anyway, the pump will prime & can still be stuffed lol.
If its cutting out around roundabouts or flooring it, the fuel pump is not delivering the appropriate fuel flow & is worn out. Probably need to replace it, good luck! Edit, check to make sure your inlet manifold bolts are tight & the gasket is not leaking. cheers, Maka
