Every time I try to start my Vauxhall Corsa, the engine hesitates for a few seconds before starting. It's been happening for a while now and I'm not sure if it's something I should worry about. What could be causing this and should I take it to a mechanic?
ReplyIt's possible that your car's fuel injectors are dirty and need to be cleaned. This can cause hesitation during start up as the fuel flow is affected. It's best to take your car to a mechanic and have them check and clean the fuel injectors.
Another possible cause could be a weak battery. If your battery is old or not holding a charge properly, it can cause hesitation during start up. Have your mechanic test the battery and replace it if necessary.
Another reason for hesitation during start up could be a faulty starter. This is more common in older cars, but it's still possible in newer models. If your starter is failing, it may take a few tries before the engine finally starts. Have a mechanic inspect and possibly replace the starter.
