Default Starting issue

In the morning when I put my key in the ignition and turn to the run position to start it, the dash light do not come on. It takes like 5- 20 seconds and the come on and then I can start the car.

In the afternoon once it is warm outside I can jump in and the dash lights come on and it starts right up.


ITs very odd but frustrating.

Anyone know the fix?

This happened to mine, or similar. I would hear a clicking over and over which was my ignition relay. Found out that my PCM was not grounded properly causing it to kick on and off. I had to track down the ground and found that my passenger side ground wire for the PCM was loose. Fixed my issue. I would say start looking for a loose ground. Mine was the one on the passenger side of the engine. Again, this was just in my case that this happened.
Maybe for you when its cold, your relay is stuck and it takes awhile for it to click open, and then when its warm it could click open with ease.

Good luck with it.
