Good day, my name is Juan Carlos, and I have a 2004 Astra automatic 2.0.
A few days ago, the air duct that runs from the filter to the throttle body was replaced because it was broken, and the intake was cleaned. It was also slow to start, but it would start on the second or third try, sometimes with a little help from the accelerator. The fuel pump would activate when I turned the ignition on, but sometimes it wouldn't. Normally, it started on the first try.
The strange thing is that yesterday it started right up, but today it wouldn't start at all. After trying more than 20 times, I gave up.
The symptoms are: the fuel pump is working, but once the ignition is on, it doesn't start on the second try; it can vary. The car seems like it wants to start but can't. The battery is good, and the starter motor is fine. Another thing is that once the car is warm, it starts right up. I always have trouble starting it from cold.
I hope you can help me, and thank you for your time.
