Re: Start up issues

The first thing I would do is to check the battery voltage to see if the battery is still good. If it is weak replace it. If the engine turns slowly then I would suspect the battery is the culprit. You can have it load tested at most autoparts stores to see if it is good.

A good tune-up won't hurt the situation either. New wires and plugs can help the starting issue as well as fuel mileage. Also clean the fuel system with a good quality bottle of injector cleaner. A new fuel filter may also be in store for your car. Dirty injectors can account for a lot of problems. Once you have done all of this if there is no improvement write again as there are many more suggestions.
