Well, i've been taking my foot off the gas right before turning the engine off and it has been bump starting very well now. Also I do agree that you can bump start at 2-5mph in 2nd gear and that any...

hah, bump starting this car at 3-5mph would make the most awful sound and would be terrible for the car. One thing I don't like about this car's tranny is that the first and second gear should be...

Well, I think letting the foot off the throttle before shutting engine off really makes a difference! Been doing much more EOC without any ill effects.

Although one strange thing is it does not...

Unfortunately I lack the time, resources and know how to find this problem. :( I mean, this is a resource, but I have a hard time translating text instructions into application to my car!

When I turn the car off, I put the clutch in and turn it off at the same time. I want the gear to be disengaged when I turn it off so that I don't have any engine braking robbing me of precious...

When I bump start, I let the clutch out in order for the engine to come back on. I don't put the clutch back in again immediately after I bump start to let it warm up as you say, I just start...

Yeah, sounds pretty similar. Sometimes I think it has more difficulty at slower speeds. Second gear and sometimes third often lurches the whole car before starting. It hasn't been so bad of late...

I don't know if I buy this. How much can the o2 sensor cool down by in such little time? And how long can it take to warm up again? Seems like this would be very negligible. It's not like I'm...
