No way! ...... I want my money back!

Very comforting to know, my car has never in the blink of an eye cranked upon me pushing the button.

I've actually let the clutch pedal out too soon before b/c the car hasn't finished cranking and have to start all over again. Not a big deal but something I've noticed.

No issues on mine, unless I let the clutch out too soon. Oops.

That's a lot of thuts. I think mine has 2 maybe 3 thuts and a VROOM.
Manual, and I do have to bottom out the clutch.

I wonder if the clutch thing is an ECU thing that could be fixed or if it's some sort of mechanical switch.

I used to have this problem because I held the button down. Now I just give it a quick push and release and it fires right up.

There is a switch that is actuated by the pedal arm. Can't remember for sure if switch is wired to ECM or BCM. The FSM is your friend.

My delay is sparatic

For sure it depends on how long I hold down the clutch, some days I do it half azz and for sure thats when it takes longer

I agree. When I use my battery operated key on her, it takes longer than my physical key does.

The things Z owners complain about.. This is something I have never even thought about. Love it.. LOL

You going from a cold start, from the accessory or the on position? Which one did the commercial have, there is a difference
