7th Gen Accord 2.2 I
I have recently purchased a 2.2L I-CTDI saloon, and it appears to have an intermittent starting issue.

Most of the time the car starts perfectly fine, but other times it will take 30-90 seconds of cranking to get the engine to start. I can hear the starter motor operating at normal speed, and the battery has the capacity to crank for minutes at a time without slowing down.

I can't seem to pinpoint what could be causing this given most of the time the car starts within 2 seconds.

Any help or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
Bad injector or sticking fuel pressure relief valve. I would change the valve first, cheap and fairly easy to do.
