Starting/Stalling Issue


Recommended Posts

2008 C2S, 20K on mileage. While at a mall this past weekend, I was backing out of a stall and a car cut behind me. Hit the brake pedal slightly before the clutch pedal and the car of course stalled. Turned the key off, back on and the car only seemed to turn over a second and then nothing. Tried a second time and same thing. Seemed almost like vapor lock but I'm sure these cars don't experience that. Third time, the car started right up. Never occurred again on the way home while stopping for gas and at the local video store. Anybody ever experience this? Otherwise,car runs great and, this has never occurred since I have had the car (3 months now).

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Tony

About 3 weeks ago, our local dealer here in Pasadena, CA, offered a courtesy tech session at their dealership which included hooking the car up to the computer to ensure all was operating correctly. No fault codes came up and, this problem has not happened again since my posting. I talked to the service manager and his speculation was that since I was in a hurry to get my car out of the middle of the aisle so other cars could pass, that I was not fully depressing the clutch pedal which is required to start the car. He may be right because it has not occurred again and I was in an extreme hurry to get it started and out of the way. Regardless, the 2008 C2S is running perfectly. Appreciate the responses...
