I experience 2 types of starting problems.
1. Every once in a while the engine just cranks and doesn't start (sounds like no spark). If I turn the ignition off and then try again it jumps right to life. Any ideas? (It is not common but it does happen about once a month. I just want to make sure that I am not stranded somewhere in the future)

2. Also not the common. But sometimes the engine has a hard time starting. Cranking multiple times before stumbeling to life. (Also about once a month)

Most of the time it starts without any problems though

This is a little bit more common on BWA and AXX engines. Without any logging I can't say much. Mine was fixed after walnut blasting. But it's not the first thing to jump to.

It is an axx engine. I will try to get some logs tomorrow and do a fault code search
