well ive been having this problem for quite a while now pretty much ever since i bought the car but didnt really get bugged out about it till NOW!! It doesn't happen that often but a few times every other day or what not. Basically it'll keep on turning, but it wont turn over. The 2nd or 3rd try it'll start. Ive changed the starter and battery about 45k miles ago, and just recently put in a new alternator. What other parts should i be watching?? Basically all i've got is an Injen CAI. There are no codes poppin up whatsoever. Could it be the starter again? Could something be clogged? Just list all of the parts that i should clean out and that i should be on a look out for, for being clogged. Iv'e also been reading about the Seafoam stuff, would that help me out in anyway? I've got almost 105k miles and it is my daily driver. As i said i have'nt changed any parts other than what is listed above.


Thanks,

prolly the Ignition Switch, try to "wiggle" your key in the start position

Also, Seafoam can never hurt

 

What i meant to say was, its trying to start, but it sounds like as if somethings clogged. I'm pretty sure that something is clogged but dont know what to check?

 

If the starter spins the ring gear properly, it's not ignition switch/starter. No codes? If you're at 105k miles on the original, I'd replace the fuel filter. It led to eliminate overnight hard starts for me, as well as bogging down when it's at less than a 1/4 tank.

Does this just happen on a cold start or when it's sat for a while? Or even if you turn it off then try to start it back up right away? Fuel filter is cheap, try that first.

 

after i got a complete tune-up at 55k miles, ive changed the feul filter 3-4 times till now. Yes it does happen at cold starts to, but check this out. After i drive it for about 30-45 mins, and i let it sit for 30 mins or so...it'll do the same thing.

 

how annoying is that!! I hate that so much, been happening to me for a few months now. I changed my fuel filter, injectors, and coil packs and it still happens. Im gonna try groundin a few things, hopefully that works. Let me know if you fix it because its driving me nuts
