Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Performed · outcome unconfirmed
Normally up-to 10 times a week as it's been used once a week mostly.
Leading evidence: 'Use once a week mostly' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Test based upon these figures' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

I'd like to get an average of how many starts per week these cars see so we can finish the testing based upon these figures.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I am carrying out the final product development for yet another new product. This final test is related to start cycles for the engine.
I'd like to get an average of how many starts per week these cars see so we can finish the testing based upon these figures.
So, how many times does your starter actuate per week? Fill out the poll. THANKS
16 to 20 or so.
Daily Driver to work as 2nd of 2 family cars ... + happily throw in a few errands in the mix for this 2000 C2 ... a few Kms away from 140k kms.
is this a product that aims to resolve the startup noise? Just had a creepy incident where for whatever reason just turned off the starter during cranking at the split second before it fired, with resulting creepy chain noise. Next start attempt wouldnt fire, third did it with a short metallic noise. Runs fine...but a little disconcerting. Likely related to chains not taught when oil pressure bleeds out?

No, not a product for that issue. We solved that with modified tensioners and our solid tensioner product used in our Stage III engines.
We just completed a 5,200 start cycle test on the product and will now do an invasive inspection to determine the condition of the components.
The key switch, battery and starter are hurting, but all held up for all 5,200 start cycles without failing.
Cold start or warm start? I drive the car twice a week on average ... on one of those days I might start 6 times ; but 4 of those are probably within less than one hour since last shutdown, so engine still warm ... does it matter for your survey? Cold starts versus warm starts?
We have completed both cold and warm starts in this cycling process. The warm starts are of greatest interest at the present in regard to this product development.
I plan on carrying out the testing in a super cold environment in the coming winter and compare the UOA and wear results. We'll have at least 20 more cars upgraded by the time that winter gets around, so I'll have a much larger pool to sample from.
Carrying out 5,000+ cold starts takes a lot longer than the 5,200 mixed cold and hot starts that we have just completed.
