Hey guys,

This problem has happen for awhile. There are times, where I would crank a few times to startup the car, there are other times, where it start up instantly. I am running stock Iridium plugs, which on the NGK website, states its pre-gapped (0.032) and from what I read, we should be gapped (0.025-0.028). I haven't changed my plugs for about a year now. I am tempted to change it now, but considering to get OEM or the NGK copper head.

Now, if I get the OEM Iridium will I have to gap it? As for the NGK copper, I know I will. Read a few post here and there, saying not to gap the Iridium tips.

Can someone shed some light on this?

Thanks

 

My experience with trouble starting is that I had a hose off and this small amount of extra air getting into the intake was messing up the air/fuel mixture at start.

 

weak battery maybe?

 

^^^ that s what i was thinking.go too auto zone get your battery testedand charged for free.do you only have trouble starting it after it sits for a while?

 

I'm having some similar issues. I was just about to start a thread, but I guess I'll post it here. Since about 2 days ago; the car has been starting really weak and everytime I turn it off and restart it, it gets weaker.. It's fine while driving and everything.. It's just when I start it..

 

You could also check and make sure your terminals are on tight...

 

^^this^^

Had same issue before, replaced factory batt with yellow top optima. Problem solved.

 

Actually I got this battery a few months ago from Costco, and it have more crank power than the stock battery, cause I original thought that was the issue. But its not. Its more like an ignition/fuel problem, cause after a few cranks, it will start up rough. I will check the spark plugs when the weather clears up, been running rich for awhile, probably plugs are fouled up.

 

My issue's been resolved. It was the battery for me.

 

battery!!!

 

Yep battery, I go threw this alot. Then I change the batt and I'm good.
