Default KK start up problem

Hi everyone,

My diesel KK is having some start up problems.

When I turn the key to start the car, the engine has to struggle around 5 seconds and then get started, no matter the engine is cold or hot already.

But the yellow engine warning light would remain on after the car started and there would be another "ding".

The car has done 108k and it had start up problem two months ago.

I sent it to the dealer and they said there was something wrong with the crankshaft and camshaft.

They then replaced the crankshaft, camshaft and their sensors, claiming everything should be fine.

But now the problem is back.

I'm wondering if the air intake system had anything to do with this problem, cuz the car also accelerate pretty slow before 60kph...

Or are there any other things might cause this kind of problem?

Does any one here have come across this problem as well?

That happened to me a couple of months ago. I replaced the battery and the problem was fixed.
