Hyundai Repair: delayed and hesitated starting, hyundai santa fe, hyundai service


Question
delayed ignition just when my Hyundai Santa Fe 2009 is cold and there is an odor of fuel after starting  

Answer
Hi, Saif.  Most frequently, an extended cranking time is due to fuel pressure bleeding off while the vehicle sits.  In this case, you may also have a misfire due to a lean mixture, causing the fuel odor you cite.  Unless your warranty period has expired, I'd recommend taking the vehicle to your local Hyundai service center for warranty repairs.
