Got a 92 Evo 1 GSR. Couple weeks ago after a lowmotion (local forum) ride and stopping at a shell for fuel, I go to start the car and it simply cranks, but does NOT fire up. I keep trying, after about 20 Seconds or so of cranking, the engine fires up! Note that driving conditions seem normal when on the road.
I've so far have been able to start the car around this issue by...
Turning the key into the on position, wait for the check engine light, cat warning light, and turbo light to go off (sometimes up to 20 seconds) leaving only the oil pressure light and battery light remaining. Then the car fires right up, upon ignition, this is both warm and cold.
I've noticed the ISC (Idle Speed Controller) has not been getting power until those cluster lights go out, and the ISC is not the culprit since its the same story with a different one. So starter is getting power, but not the top of the engine I.e no spark.
I've also noticed that after shutting the power off (i.e turning the ignition off) or shutting the car down. There is a click, from behind or underneath the stereo. If the ignition is turn back on before this click, the car starts fine, if after the click, the car will only crank and not fire up for 20 seconds.
could be a bad ground, relay, fuse, but before i spend countless hours investigating maybe someone had this issue before.
any guidance or help would be appreciated.
