04 Precedent starting problem

[ryabro]

I have an 04 Precedent gas FE 290 engine. When I press the pedal to start it sometimes will take a few tries to get it going. This is even after it has been warmed up (like at a stop sign). I press it down about 1/3 of the way and you can tell its getting the signal just not going. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I tried searching but got didnt get any good results.

well you need to start by making sure your getting steady fuel.......try changing fuel and air filters see if that helps................................

Check the SG belt tension. It needs to be nice and tight. These motors come to rest on the compression stroke, a loose belt can't get past this until it gets sticky through friction on the pulleys and finally bites.
