Default Starting problems 03 4 cyl. Accord.

Hey everyone,
I saw one similar post when I searched, however, my accord is having problems starting in the morning (2-5 tries) . The weather here in Utah has just gotten into the 30's at night and it has started acting up when the weather cooled down. I have not tested anything yet, but I am wondering if it is a battery, plugs or what? In the afternoon (warmer weather) it starts first crank. My educated guess is a battery getting weak. Any suggestions? Thanks a ton!!!!

There is a strong possibility the battery is dying and that is the first place to start. Go to a Advance Auto Parts or similar store and get the battery tested make sure it is load tested.

Here in Florida the battteries last 3 years.

Good Luck

Well thank you for responding. I would have put money on the battery the way it was acting. As luck would have it, it is the alternator crapping out! $165 for a new one. I can think of alot of things, A LOT more expensive to fix. Do needless to say i am not too upset!!!!!! Thanks a ton again for responding!
