The vehicle mostly presented an intermittent no start, sometimes taking up to 15 crank attempts to start when both hot and cold, then performing normally until switched off.

The engine would mostly fail to start on the first attempt, often requiring up to 15 crank attempts before firing, both hot and cold. Once running it performed normally and restarted without issue until it was next switched off. During failed starts a momentary slowing of cranking speed and an occasional minor backfire could be heard, consistent with an incorrect ignition event.
