Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum

When I start up my FJ, it seems to take about a full second to second and a half, was wondering if this is normal? just seems you have to turnit over just a touch more than normal.

thanks

Seems to be par for the course. I noticed that ours seemed to have a longer start time than previous vehicles. Heck in my Nissan Titan, you can barely hit the key and the monster comes to life.

I bought my '08 about a month ago. I hooked up a remote starter, and it has a difficult time sarting it. It only cranks over for few revs, then waits a few seconds to try again. Most of the time it starts, sometimes it wont. I will probably connect to the tach wire, which is an option for hard starting vehicles. But that is the only bad thing to say, other than that, I love my FJ!

PS.It is hardly noticable with the key.

Ditto, Love mine, wouldn't trade it for anything! even without the Locking diff i've been Very Very impressed, Climbed avery snow bank here I've put it on.

Thank you for the replys

i bought my 08 in jan of 08 and that was one of the first things i noticed, and to this day is my only complaint with this vehicle

A follow up to my above post. I did set the remote start for a tach start, instaed of tachless. Works just fine since.

I have found that if I turn on the key and leave it there for about three seconds, it'll fire right up when I engage the starter. Try it. This isn't going to work with a remote starter though.
