Occasional long crank on the A-spec

[dima_n]

I am at over 18k at this point a little over a year old. Day one issue, once in a blue moon maybe 10 times total a very long crank time. Feels like no fuel but could be spark as well I guess, or some sensor. Usually when it happens it ends up being a 5 second crank, I think last time it was close to 10 seconds. I think once time I had to press the start button again, I am not certain there may be a timeout on the crank time. All other times, absolutely normal. This only happens when cold first start in the morning. I assume that the car is in the open loop mode and would not store any codes? Anybody else experience this? I found some high pressure pump issues on the 1.5T Accords being reported in the past, but not that much info.

I got an extended crank rarely and randomly last winter. I'll keep an eye out again as temperatures plummet.

Normal crank is 3-4 revs then fire. Extended was like 6-10 cranks then fire. Not a big difference but I noticed it when it happened.

I had it happen a few times

It has happened to me twice. First was right after a wash so I thought maybe she had a bit to much to drink. The second was a few days ago, with a warm engine. Both times were about 3-4 seconds, which felt like an eternity when you're used to instant fire-up. Something to keep an eye on but I don't think it deserves its own service visit yet.
