I tried searching for a thread like this one to no avail.

But does anyone else’s SS shave a reluctant start up? Almost like the car is about to give out before starting.

I thought it was the battery and checked the voltage; it wasn’t.

I thought it was spark plugs....but spark plugs? On a car with 30k miles? No way

Do you guys think it could be our cam? Since the LT1 does have an aggressive cam.

Let me know what you guys think, would appreciate it. Also it’s not every single time, it varies.

This was written up a year ago or so , I can't remember exactly, you might search, for crankshaft position sensor

[soloknight6]

Heat soaked starter, Bad battery, loose ground, or crank sensor. Common issue for the 16. Let me guess, only happens after restarting the engine while its hot (restarting within 15 minutes after engine shutdown).

Crank sensor caused this on mine, it move or something the dealer said.

There was a thread awhile back about crankshaft thrust bearing.

Has anyone changed their crankshaft position sensor on their own? My car has been giving me this problem for the past year but I don’t wanna pay the dealership $600+ just to change a sensor.

Is a heat soaked starter something that needs service attention or is it normal?

Sometimes I start my car and it cranks really slowly before speeding up the cranks and starting the motor. Sort of like chug... chug......chug..chug..chugchugchug *start*.
