cold start problem

when it cold out side my car has trouble starting. it stays overnigth in the garage but when i try to start for the first time it tumbles but wont start. after 2 or3 times it finnaly starts. any one have any suggestions. BTW i already put a new battery in so iknow thats not the problem.:help:

I have the same problem with my max. I just bough a great battery and my car still doesnt do it's job. I got a remote starter and my engine is worm most of the time, but when I want to start my car from the house so it can worm up, it takes at least 2 try's . Anyone had this problem before ??? Any solutions ???:p

i can try and use my remote start when warm or cold and it wont work. i got tired of fukin with it and dont even use it any more:bonghitte

i got a 96' max and it does the same thing, it turns over fine but takes a while to fire up. anybody know what would cause this, i have abrand new battery and alternator so that isn't it. maybe it is just the engine, cuz it is alluminum

I have the same Problem... I have done all normal stuff you can to it other than change the belts. I will hopefully have that done on my day off this Friday. I'll let you know if this takes care of it.

Things I have done are:
Oil Change
Plugs
Fuel Filter
Oil Filter
Injector Cleaners
Trans Oil
Coolant System Power Flushed
Battery relocated with GOLD connections to the Trunk

Note: All Fluids are Synthetic

Still on COLD days the first time it starts by or by remote it NEVER stays on the first try.

Well, my car doesnt start at all right now. I guess it's the starter. Could anyone tell me how much $$$ this shit will cost me ?

A decent starter shouldn't cost more than $150, I'd think. As for the starting problem, most of it may be related to the starter itself. This is just a guess on my behalf, since I went thru a similar problem, but with my last car (Nissan Sentra). Might wanna see if your starter is putting out enuff.

Not that it matters anymore I thought i'd post my Update...

I went to install the UDP and had a problem. (Couldn't get it off with out Air Tools) Anyway... I ended up having to put the Stock Belts back on and tighted everything back up and Presto!!! She starts on the FIRST try..!

Now all I need is to get to a Compressor to install the UDP..!!! :D
