S2000 - restarting after a stall

[MrFlibbles]

I've stalled the S2K once or twice , and evrytime I've noticed it wont restart easily.

The starter spins, but it wont catch. Almost as if its immobilsed or something.

If I pump the pedal a few times then try again it'll catch. Is this normal?

Give it some more revs you've got 9000 of them to play with.

Can't say I've had that problem when mine has cut out.

Never had a problem .... mines always started without a problem if stalled.

The only time I ever had any trouble restarting after a stall was after I exited a sweeping right-hander backwards at approaching 80mph on a track day

I forgot to dip the clutch as I was ploughing up the field backwards with the result that it took a while for the engine to right itself and restart. It was a worrying minute or two until it finally caught!

Never had that trouble with mine...

[lukedon]

mine usually starts straight up

Mine does that some times especially crawling along in traffic for a while, this has only happened after changing the stock airbox for a K&N induction kit. I got a feeling its to do with warm air being sucked into the engine, the car goes a bit sluggish and acts a bit like a kangaroo. A heavy right foot always clears the problem though, but you do get a lot of people looking at you thinking why are you revving the car to 9k stationary. It does make you feel like an idiot sometimes.

Turns out it was just me being special!

Yes, had the kangerooing but no starting problems.

Flibbles you weren't trying to restart it with the key were you?

I've had the difficult start problem after spins on the track and also if i stall the engine in both my S2ks. Just seems to be a feature. Starter will churn away for a good 5 seconds or so before it restarts.
