Ahrite guys I am confused.

Started the car today at 530AM to start the daily drive and the car would try to start and give out, tried it the 2nd time and it barely started. It is kinda like as if the car is stalling out or something. Clutch was pressed all the way in and I was on even pavement.

Also, the car has been fine for ages and it was fine 2 days ago. I parked it and that was it. It was not any colder this morning compared to any other morning. It might even be a bit warmer this morning.

The Dizzy cap and rotor + spark plugs + plug wires was all replaced 3000 miles ago. I checked connections and it seemed fine, nothing loose.

The thing that I do not get is that the car was fine 2 days ago and yea...what could of happen when the car is just sitting there, parked?
Any other areas I should be checking?

Help.Assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

try some fuel injector cleaner, and check the ammount of carbon build up on the plugs

maybe a bad starter connection or battery

does it run fine after it is started?

After it starts, it drives perfectly, no bogging or anything.

The batt is pretty new. About 10K only.

Hard to start in hot weather, is due to a bad battery. The battery life is cut short when it's exposed to heat for long periods of time. Like just sitting there the whole day with 100 degree weather. It normal, buy a baker battery, they tend to last longer..

Yea, but mine is not in a hot weather. I am in San Francisco, and we all know how foggy it gets here.

the air is always moist and possibly corrosive due to the salt in the air

maybe you have a bad connection due to some sort of corrosion, check the starter connection, and battery connections

Thanks for the help.

How can I check the starter connection? Any links?

DC2 Mang

its a wire running from the fuse box/ battery area to the starter

Hmm..odd, the car is starting fine now...could it be just a fluke or no?

DC2 Mang

possibly something wiggled loose but re-connected

personally i hate it when that happens because i dont know what went wrong and think it could happen at any time again

maybe it was a weak batter because something was left on like a trunk light
