So around 100k or so my car started to start slower than before, a pretty big difference in the number of cranks it takes to fire up. I installed new plugs and o2 sensors the other day because my gas mileage has been really shitty and that didn't help. I can't think of what is wrong, is my fuel pump going out? before I start the car I prime it by leaving it in the ON position but that doesn't help. Any advice is appreciated

 

i dont prime it long anymore, it seems like if i leave it on then it will take even longer to start. I just prime it for about half to one second then start it. I used to wait till the fuel guage goes all the way up and theres a click.

check the battery?

 

what about the ault. ... do you have a big system or amps, maby it has drained it... just a thought.

 

I don't think its the charging system, it cranks over pretty fast just takes longer to fire than before. From what i've seen if its the battery the car cranks over rather slow but in my case it cranks at normal speed so I doubt its the battery.

 

yeah im around 67k and its dueing that but i havent changed spark plus or wires

 

second gen CLs dont have spark plug wires. they have ignition coils.

 

I've had that problem before as well. i have an 03 TL-S and what i noticed is that it happens when my battery is weak. When i had my battery replaced, the problem disappeared.
