Starting problems

Hello, I own a 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS.
Purchased New.
Nearing 42k miles as of 2021

I am having issues starting the car sometimes.
The Battery is new this year.
I have done a fuel injector cleaner service at a automotive shop years prior.

When the car is running there is no issue at all. Slowing, stopping, incline, decline, accelerating no issues at all.

But sometimes when I start the car, it just cranks and cranks.
I try to add some gas pedal action, unsure if it does anything.
Usually about the 3rd try the car starts. I'm worried this is going to get worse over time.
There are also times when I go to start the car and it start right up. I'm so confused.

P.S. It is summertime, if temperature is a thing.
Also, no check engine light or dashboard lights of any kind.

Appreciate the help,
Rifraction

Re: Starting problems

On a fuel injected car generally pushing the gas pedal while starting initializes "clear flood mode" so in layman's terms it shuts the injectors down.

You need to attempt some actual diagnosis when it does this. Find out if fuel is the issue, or is it spark, or is it something else all together.
