so what I thought was a starter issue may not be, would like another opinion though, when i go to start the car it sounds like it is going to turnover but just dies and doesnt start. It takes about 5-10 turns of the key before it does actually fire up. Could this be the starter or something else?

could be a bad connection(loose or bare wiring) a bad solenoid or bad ignition switch. im leaning towards solenoid.

NateB26

yea, i just replaced the solenoid two days ago because i thought the same thing, but its not that...

have you had the battery tested???

NateB26

yea im almost positive its not the battery, it doesnt sound like its losing power or struggling to start up, its more like it starts up but dies right away and it does this about 5-10 times before it actually starts, and its worse when its cold outside or I havnt been driving it for a while (like a matter of hours)

I'm not understanding what your trying to say it will turn over and it will fire but it will not stay running can you hear the fuel pump? how long has it been since it had a tune up? can you make a video up so we can better understand what your talking about

check the fuel pressure for bleed down...you'll need a gauge to confirm this

NateB26

yeah, thats pretty much it, it will fire up normally and it sounds like its firing up normally but then it just dies right away, like its not getting enough gas or something...

how do i check the fuel pressure for bleed down?

Have you done the fi no start check list? I.e. checking for spark, fuel, and etc.?

Try putting some fresh fuel in the car...
