hello,
Hoping for new ideas on how to fix this one.
06 S3 with under 4k miles on it. The engine sporadically will not start.
This seems to happen mostly if I turn it off, wait for 20-40min, and then try to restart the engine- The starter motor cranks strongly but the engine will not catch. If I try to restart immediately after turning the engine off, it fires right up. If I try to restart when it's completely cold, it fires after 5-10 cranks. Once started, it runs without issue.
I've removed the tip-over valve
I've check the battery
I get gas at different stations (but always 91 octane)
I've check the side-stand and clutch sensor (although a malfunction with these would keep the starter from cranking at all)
I'm starting it in neutral (and, yes, I'm holding the clutch)
I'm only pushing the start button, not touching the throttle
I've opened the tank to make sure there's no vacuum
I've just ordered a Tuneboy
I haven't yet pulled the plugs but there shouldn't be any water in them as the bike has never been doused...
Any other suggestions or people experiencing this?
Thanks,
Zohar
