Hello, I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I have an 06 Si that just barely starts. When I crank it, there's no kick and it's very slow to start. So far, it has cranked everytime on the first try, but seems to be getting worse. Once the engine is running, there seems to be no problems with the car. About three days ago, my check engine light came on, but then went off the next day...after driving less than 100 miles. When the engine light was on, this wasn't an issue. Now that the engine light is off, this problem has gotten progressively worse.

I don't know if this is relative but less than a month ago, the check engine light came on. The diagnostic test gave code 30520-rra-007 coil, plug hole. I got that fixed and the engine light was reset. About two days after that repair, my air conditioner went from cold to hot...so much so I had to let the windows down. The next day, the engine light came back on and the car ran hot. I checked the antifreeze reservoir and it was low, so I checked the radiator and it was nearly empty. Of course the dealer refuse to admit that they drained it and forgot to put it back in. Before taking the car in, it had never run hot before. After I put antifreeze in the radiator, the engine light went back off and my air conditioner now runs cold again, but with intermittent spurts of cool air, but then back cold. I don't know a thing about cars but I do know what antifreeze is and I don't understand the connection with the AC. At this point I have no faith in the dealer, so if anyone can provide some feedback, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks, Denise
