Hello ! Please i need help,
I have a 2005, toyota corolla
In the morning when i attempt to start the car, it doesn’t start up, it kicks then goes off
But when i attempt the second time, the car comes up

I have changed the plug
Serviced the injector and nozzle
Serviced the fuel pump and filter too
Yet it’s the same

The car only comes up on the second kick
And this happens in the morning only

2 things are involved, 1. Crankshaft Position Sensor.
2. ECT Sensor

my car had similar issues its a sign of a weak fuel pump, change the fuel pump and u are good

I have similar problem presently but I'm just using it like that but if i see the solution i will go for it. and mine doesnt have any code after scanning. thats what make me to use it like that cos it may be the security i installed

Me too... I have 2006 Toyota corolla hatchback nd I have the same issue

A very common issue with corolla especially 2005 and 2006.

The ect sensor (cold start) was replaced, turns out it wasn’t the issue, i would try the crankshaft position sensor too, thank you soo much
Someone said it could be the fuel pump

It was the fuel pump! I replaced it and everything is well

!
Tip : to test if fuel pump is the issue, put on car ( but do not start it ) press the accelerator to pump fuel for a fuel seconds, then stop and start car, if it comes up once it’s your fuel pump

My mini-cooper I do struggle with starting it in the morning before I changed the fuel pump, but still I still need to kick twice before it answers, electrician is telling me another story now

Try changing the cold start ( e no suppose pass 1k)
Check the kickstarter / kick starter brush too

Thank u. God bless

Was it the complete fuel assy u changed [quote author=sheu01 post=98432398][/quote]

I ones had similar issue with my corolla 2005, whenever i tried starting in the morning it takes a lot of time to start, all I did was to change the cool start and it works well till date.

It depends on so many factors. I experienced it early dis year. Changed the fuel pump, plug and nozzles but never worked. The problem stopped when I changed the coil.

I have a similar issue. It do this but it doest start, and my fuel pump has some pressure still. But once I put little fuel in the injector it starts with one try. I have also cleaned the crankshaft positioning sensor too. Still don't work straight.

It's the fuel pressure regulator inside the fuel pump assembly that's causing your problem..

Change the complete fuel pump assembly. But if you cannot afford that, you can change the fuel pressure regulator and your problem will be solved.

Remember, it's those people that sell scrap parts that you will get the pressure regulator from.

It will look like the picture below.

Changing the complete fuel pump helped surprisingly, and the cold start

this thread was educative

I'm having similar issue with my 06 corolla, I'm planning to take it to the mechanic tomorrow. I will follow the advises I've gotten from these post, hopefully I too will overcome this problem

I am having same issue here. My re-wire said that it's the cold start switch/sensor.

I finally solve this problem on my 06 corolla.. I change cold switch, change fuel pump, service almost every part of d car yet no solution.... Until i got to a new mechanic and he said its fuel pump again.. I told him i have change fuel pump but he insisted its fuel pump, so i bought another fuel pump, complete assy for 14k and the problem disappear... Car is driving normal and its over 2 month now.. My Mech says when u switched off ur car, some fuel returns back to the engine while some will stays in the engine or in d fuel line, a good fuel pump is meant to hold the little fuel in d engine in terms of pressure. It is that little fuel in the engine that will be used to START ur car whenever you want to drive out, before the fuel in ur tank will start coming up... Most times, a bad pump will not hold pressure, that means when u off ur engine, ALL the fuel returns back to the tank..
