Hi guys,
Just recently my car has been acting funny when I start it. I switch on the ignition and the car tries to start but the engine wont kick in immediately. After like 5 seconds later the car looks as if it is dying out and the engine suddenly kicks in. I have a feeling its time for my spark plugs to be changed. ANy other opinions?

sounds just like my car, I still have to fix it

So I have to look up the ecu rite? How do u check if its 22? Is 2 short blinks first then followed by 2 long blinks or vice versa?

lol
ok...but mine is not like tat though...it jus keeps igniting and after a while the engine kicks in. I've jus changed my cat converter and now the car is running smoothly. No more problems so far...been running on a cat whose insides had all melted n clogged up my exhaust.
