Not starting...sometimes.

[YuNg1's_240sx]

Hey guys, I am having trouble starting my car when it has sitten cold for a couple of hours. I turn the key and everything lit up but the engine does not crank. I sometimes hold it but still nothing. Only after the take the key off, and wait about 10 seconds, does the car start. I was thinkin maybe the fuel pump or something of the sort... could you guys decipher what the problem is? ThanksArash

i had the same problem but i think mine isn't dependable on coldness, i was told it was the starter so i changed it and for the past 4 months it happened once, but other than that it works fine, maybe starter solenoid?

doesn't really help but just wanted to tell you my experience
