123mal Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 i got a 2003 ford focus and nothing is wrong with it at all no problems except it seems to take a while to start, longer then i think it should. it takes about 5-6 seconds to start... it starts everytime and is fine except the fact it takes a while to crank over? why is it doing this its a very clean car granny driven has 151km on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Are you letting the immobiliser light go out before you try starting up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foci_st3 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Just coz a granny has owned it doesn't make it a good car, usually there low mileage which mean has been sat about more than driven and most of the time they let services slip because of the low mileage, I would just change the plugs and leads and see how u get on, I also noticed when I have a 03 focus that if you try to start and let go to quick before it starts and then try again it will take 5-6 secs to crank, maybe changed the fuel filter aswell or get the fuel pump checked out.
