Hello all.
I have a 2007 Vibe and I am experiencing a long cranking time when starting the engine hot. Can anyone help me with this condition?
Thanks
Greg

a lot of the internet suspects fuel injectors, letting the pressure leak into the cylinders causing an effective flooded engine issue, and test involves hooking up a pressure gauge to the fuel rail

There is also a Technical support Bulletin (TSB) for a computer software update but that's supposedly only on 05's and 06's so it may not apply to your 07
