[QUOTE="1998 Cobra Vert, post: 15867555, member: 190940"] Hi everyone, longtime lurker and first time poster. I have a bone stock 1998 Cobra with 34,500 miles. I recently changed the plugs, wires, belt, battery and IAC. The issue I am describing existed before doing the tune up. I changed the IAC since I had a high idle issue along with the idle spiking to 1,800-2,000 RPM when driving. The idle now is a steady 800 RPM and the car idles smoother than my 2014 Fusion. The car is rarely driven...hence the low miles. It's normally under a cover on a battery tender in the garage. Whenever I start the car, it will not start the first time when turning the key. It always fires right up the second time of turning the key. I've read posts on this forum trying to isolate the issue. Seems like PATS, the alternator or fuel pump may be the culprit? It's more of an annoyance than anything and would like the car to start with the first turn of the key. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
