but last nite engine cannot start.. only start after 10-15 cranks..
actual date and time line i not very sure..
but for sure engine cannot start immediately is last nite...

hope to get some advise..
1 month to 4 years old at 55k mileage...

Could be due to your spark plugs?

Faulty spark plug or connection.

If u don't apply brakes.. Idle 2k rpm can bring u up to 70km/hr on flat road..
Mine idle 1.5k rpm.. Fc super bad.. Finally now changed new throttle body..
Now monitoring..
