my car is barely starting each day now, i had ects codes and intake temp sensor, replaced them both no more code, but last one is absolute pressure sensor, i know where it is and it looks fine, can that effect engine starting, i dont kno, and yes my starter is fine ignition components yes , it is a sensor or something, because my car turns over and almost starts until about a minute later then it starts, so im assuming its the spark, and i checked the cam shaft sensor as well as the 2 crank sensors even tho i didnt get codes for them, even so, the car would not start at all at least mine hasnt in the past when i removed one or all 3 for testing purposes, so anyways, anyone with any ideas or clues please help, thnks

 

If you have a code on something, you should fix it. I am not sure if it would affect that but it is entirely possible. Replace and try starting If that doesn't work, then do some more trouble shooting.

 

WOW WHAT A GREAT ADVISE!!



Anyways, how do you know if your starter is good? Sounds like starter to me.

 

So are your symptoms that the car cranks for a long time before actually catching?

 

How did you check the starter to know its fine?

Did you take it to a local auto store and have it tested for free? if not I'd suggest doing that.

 

I kind of knew mine was dying (when the car did not want to start I would take my torque wrench to it and persuade it), but I still took it to Autozone to get it checked. I then bought one from them.

 

Yup the good ole, starter tapping technique. . . always good for a start.

 

And yes, as everyone else has said... a sign of the starter going out will be it taking longer and longer to crank Before you know it you will have no sound at all <<- thats the big clue, when it doesn't start at all.
