starting problems 406

Hi, our Peugeot 406 Familia, 1.8 inj, aged six years old, shows some problems with starting the engine. Sometimes starting is as it is supposed to be, sometimes it is realy difficult: only after repeated efforts during ten minutes the engine starts. There seems to be no relation to weatherconditions and the starting problems are also difficult to predcit. Our Peugeot-dealer already replaced the relais, but the problem still exists. The computer and electricitycircuits are also checked as well as the keychip. With no result: our dealer has not been able to find any problem... He says that we have to live with it: it is a typical problem of a modern car, which nowdays are stuffed wit 'all that computerstuff and electricity", he says. We dont like such answers: our problem isn't solved. Does anybody has any idea, please, let us know....

Thanks very much, Jeroen den Blijker, Amersfoort, The Netherlands

Draait de startmotor wel of heel zwaar of helemaal niet? Een startmotor wil ook wel 's zulke problemen geven.

Groet, Jon.

Maybe try a new aerial for the transponder -- around the ignition lock.

Question

What is the state of the battery.

Is it up to 12V or showing rather low.

The fuel pump may be slow to start

mine occasionally does the same:.(2.0lt Turbo exec)

remove the key wait.

turn on ignition wait 15 -20 seconds then attempt to start.
