Hi everyone,

I am writing here to seek for advice regarding my Captiva hard start issue. Every morning or after long parking (engine totally cool down), this Captiva need to perform long crank to start the engine.
Once it started, it will be easy to start for whole day long until the next long parking again. I have done quite a lot of checking and repair. I am listing down what I already did.

1. Fuel pump replaced.
2. Swapped with a good condition glow plug.
3. Swapped with a good condition ECU.
4. Swapped with a good condition glow plug relay.
5. Swapped with a good condition temperature sensor.
6. Swapped with a good condition fuel rail pressure sensor.
7 Swapped with a good condition intake air temperature sensor.
8. Repaired High Pressure Pump.
9. Replaced all new injectors.
10. Replaced all new piston ring.
11. Overhauled engine.
12. Battery condition is good.

After doing all these, this symptom of hard start after long parking is still there. I do not know what else can I do to solve this problem.
Please let me know if you have any idea regarding this issue.
Thanks!

Regards,
JJ
