2021 SR5 long time to start after engine is cold

Just bought the truck yesterday, and this morning after sitting in garage overnight I had to crank the engine about 15 secs before it started. After it started and engine warmed up no problems starting for rest of day.

Obviously going to test again tomorrow morning and have dealer take a look, but curious if anyone experienced similar? Any theories?

UPDATE - well this morning it fired right up so now I'm going to have to live in fear that I've got intermittent problem. Might have battery checked just for kicks. As I stated further below it's not a cold weather issue - when I said cold start just meant sitting overnight. Thanks for feedback.

UPDATE #2 - spoke to dealer service tech who says truck does some initial learning with all the computer systems and recommended I wait and see if it happens again before taking it in. It has been fine since that day so we'll see.

 

Welcome aboard.

 

I live in a very cold climate and my garage is often at 45 degrees and my truck starts right up. Its a 2017. Sorry, can't help you, but that does sound strange. Wonder if your battery is bad.

 

I have a ‘17 and started in -20* pre dawn Colorado winter with ease.

To allow the dealer to replicate the cold start they need to have it outside overnight to start in the morning.

Could be a failing battery.

 

I should clarify when I say cold start just mean it sat overnight. The temp was probably 45 in garage, so we're not talking actual cold.

 

gotta be a bad battery. Lets see what dealer says. Interested

 

Still, if you want the dealer to replicate your situation, they will need your truck overnight.

 

Mine took a little longer than I thought it should when I first got it too. It starts quicker now, bought it in December and now has 1500 miles on it.

 

The new trucks seem to be lazy ,like the new generation

 

If the battery doesn't fix it, a new truck will

 

I leave my truck outside 24/7. Even during below zero mornings it will turnover and start immediately. Definitely not normal if it takes as long as you say. Are you accidentally pressing on the gas pedal before trying to fire it up?
