hard to start up, what to do?
 
its hard for the car to start up now when I turn the key, its only been 1 year and its already like that... anyone with the same problem? like I mean it doesn't start crisply like brmmmm... its more like chuckle chuckle chuckle brmmmm.....

is there something that needs to be checked or changed?

I have had the same problem. Mine dose that only after its been sitting for a few days, its also quite cold now. That might have somthing to do with it. I put oil in thats meant for colder weather too.

i would understand if its harder for yours to start since you live in WI, but I live in los angeles.... can't be as cold as your place...

I really hope its just the weather thats causing it to do that... every time I start up the car it sounds like a 1980s car...

yea
 
Mine does the same thing, and it does it randomly. It can be really annoying. I was told to turn the lights on for a second to get the juice already going and then to try to start, which worked, but it occurs so randomly I never do that because its just a habit I can't form. I think getting a better sparkplug like a platinum quadtip would help... a friend told me that after replacing his spark, his car now starts up hella fast. i can't find any at the local kragen here and i haven't looked anywhere else, but I wanna get one.
