Default starting problem

Lately it has been taking a lot longer to start my car. Like when i crank the car it turns over longer than normal and then when it does start it doesn't really sound like a very strong start. What could cause this problem

Fuel filter needs to be changed or the fuel pump may be getting weak. Also check your spark plugs.

Do you know what your pre-crank and cranking voltage is at?? This could also be part of your issue.. Do you live in a cold region??


There are many factors to hard starts, fuel being one of the more relavant, you may want to start simple by checking things like battery voltage, and voltage going to the starter.. It's free, and it's well within reach..
