problem starting

It'll turn over, but won't start right away. It was fine before I changed the battery the other day. What's going on?

Please do a simple search for "hard starting" "difficult starting" you will find a ton of information. I know becuase I had similar issues and searched the forums and found an answer.

Didn;t mean to sound like a *****, but too often people post questions that they can answer themselves just by doing a search on the forums.
Now your problem, Did you replace the battery with the correct replacement? How about your terminals, is the negative cable in bad shape? If so change it for $6. Try grounding your starter and or Tranny. I did those things and it solved my problem.

I tried searching and didn't find much. That's why I made this post.
Could it really ba a bad connection? The starter works fine, I doubt that it's a connection problem. The engine turns over, but it won't fire. If I try it again it starts fine. It sounds more like a spark problem to me.
I just thought that maybe this is a common problem and some people might know what to do.

I guess I'll just go search google.
Thanks anyway

What?!?, we got like 2-3 post a month on that subject....
The search fonction doesnt work proprely, I got only two results with "starting problem".


Could be more than one thing.

My guess, you connection, this engine's very tricky on electricity issues.

Thanks for the links.
I did search, but I didn't get a lot of results, most were crap. I tried typing in different combinations of words too, but I guess I was just typing in the wrong stuff.

just keep in mind searching involves more than typing in the search bar, it also includes scanning through all the recent threads for similar issues (this works!)
There does seem to be a problem with the free search though, its bringing up next to no results for very common issues.
