Hi
We have a 1993 960, it's been having some trouble starting up in the morning. It's just had its last major service maybe a month and a half ago, where they changed plugs, wires, serpentine belt, oil etc... Pretty big service, but everything is basically new, and in good shape, engine wise.
It is having trouble catching spark after a period of a good 5-8 seconds cranking, the car will then shake back and forth, like the engine is badly out of balance, or it won't catch... On the second attempt the engine is fine, and after its been warmed up, also fine.
I'm thinking weak battery, but my father things the timing is off - I then reminded him that the engine would run poorly at all times if the timing was off. No check engine light yet, we've seen these symptoms before tho, years ago.... Can't remember is the battery went tho.
