umm what do u think the problem is if your car is having trouble starting... it starts.. and the engine is pretty damn new... less then 40 k... and its harder to start in colder conditions ??? help me out please..............

 

does it crank? cranks and turns over, then dies? starts depending on temperature (hot day or cold day)? need to be more specific.....

 

umm... what do u mean if it cranks... like it starts fine on a normal day.. but when it gets cold... it has trouble starting... like it does start... but its not like normal... i guess it kinda lags in starting... and also for a few seconds .... it runs very rough... like idles hard... i dunno why... and after its warmed up or after a little bit... it starts to run fine again.... and sometimes a check engine light comes on... so i keep on reseting my battery and it goes away.. it comes on and says its a miss fire on the 4th cylinder... but i went to a shop and they told me that its only the fuel injector cleaner you put in... it should go away... its just that the ecu is not used to the chemicals... but its been like 2 weeks adn still running pretty rough... at times... do you guys tink i need new sparkplugs ? someon told me spark plugs might be the problem... and i did some research what it might be... but no luck...

 

When is the last time you changed your plugs? Pull your plugs and see what they look like? Check the ignition wires and see how the dizzy looks. You can use an OHMmeter on the injector to see if its pulsing (show that it is spraying fuel.)

 

also put the tip of a screwdriver up to the fuel injector and your ear on the handle and listen for the "tick-tick-tick" of the injector. it may be operating erratically or what-have-you. but definitely check your spark plugs first. it's like the second best thing you can do for your car (#1 is changing your oil), and it costs less than $10.
