Default Starting Troubles

When I start my car, it takes like 8 cranks before the engine starts. This only happens when my car is cold, like when I try to start it in the morning. When its warmed up and everything, the car starts like normal. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks for the help!

It could be anything. How many miles on your 5th gen and what mods?

Might want to check your plugs and make sure they are not worn out and gapped correctly..

I only have around 33k on my car and its stock right now. I have rough idle sometimes the acceleration seems a lil off sometimes, and the start is sometimes rough too...could it be a problem with my fuel injectors?

the cold start issue could be due to a week battery. as far as idling rough, join the club! I am having so many idling issues right now! If is isnt cranking one day, have a friend crank it while you spray gas into the throttle body. If it tries to crank up while you are doing that, then i would conclude it is injector related!
