my car is misbehaving. the ignition is not turning over the first time, but if i keep it turned over it finally comes to life. sounds like it might be the battery IMO. i hope it can last me through the night because i have a date......

how can you expect your date to turn over if your car doesnt?

someone give me their two cents.

 

what exactly is it doing?? does the engine try to start when you turn the key, but it wont?? or is it just not turning at all??

 

it tries to start, and then after one turn it does start. you can hear the pistons moving once... doesnt catch... the second turn-over it does.

 

Seems pretty normal for these cars. Other people have said stuff about it and mine has done that since it left the show room. Maybe new spark plugs? I dont know i guess i should have mine replaced cause im up to three cranks

 

THATS SOME BS !!!

If my car did that brand new id be shoving it up some dealers ass.
My car takes like .5 of a second to start

 

we'll im gonna go get the battery changed tomorrow anyway. it could be my amp drawing too much power. the idle drops everytime it hits, and all the lights dim. time for a capacitor.

at least the car made it all the way through the night and i didnt have to look like an ass in front of the girl when the car didnt start.

it's good to know that it's not only happening to me.

thanks for the input guys.

 

well its a little late for a word of advice, but just remember theres always time to rent a car.

 

my car starts right up also. maybe cuz my optima battery has 830cca. even with the stock battery 550cca??it still started right up, but huge diff w/ my optima. BUY OPTIMA IF U NEED A NEW BATTERY!!!!!!!!!
