Why the ocassional pause when starting?

JARblue · 12-22-2012, 12:12 PM

I FINALLY had the privilege of experiencing this delay after removing my fuse several weeks ago.

Two full seconds for sure. I don't care that it happens; I'm just curious about why it happens.

I do not have to hold down the start button to start the Z. You should be able to simply push it once briefly and let go. Usually it begins the sequence as I'm letting off the button or right after, but what I just experienced the other day was I pushed the button quickly and there was a significant delay even after letting off. In fact, during this delay I was able to fully buckle my seat belt before the car started.

I experience the same thing on an intermittent and inconsistent basis. Just push the start button and don't hold the button in. Most the time starts without delay.

I have the bypass harness to isolate the steering lock. In the car today I paid close attention to the start sequence. In my car today and of late as I pay attention, its simply rocket quick.
Hit the button quickly and release today on 2 starts and the car is fully started in less than 2 seconds. I mean its fast. I have felt zero delay since installing the bypass harness. Curious if other harness folks have seen a delay.

Since ppl that have not disabled the SLU are reporting the pause, it would appear that disabling the SLU is not related to the problem.

If disabling the SLU exacerbates the pause peoblem, the harness (or clipping the brown wire) would be the least likely to cause the delay. A computer input is also killed when you pull the fuse.
