Ok on Sunday im driving to Texas, Im in California right now I will just be visiting for a week and heading back on Friday of next week.
Im taking my I30 with the family im sure it should make it Lets pray
My car drives great i just recently replaced battery and starter since both were bad. I did a oil change with Royal purple 10 40, New spark plugs. The car has 188,000 miles.
But i still have the cranking problem sometimes it takes two to three times to crank and start up. Am i risking anything. Should i go in the car? Give me some good Info thanks

Three crank to start, I would risk it for city driving but not long distance.

Most fourth gens have trouble starting. It shouldnt be a problem though.

I just drove from South Carolina to Ft Hood Texas with no problems. I have a 97 max auto with 174k. The total trip was about 1200 miles and I think I was getting about 26-27 mpg. The only things I replaced before the trip were my belts and an oil change. My plugs havent been changed in I dont know how long but it made it and still running strong.

For Real? I cant tell if your joking but anyway they are your AC Belt(Gatorback PN:4060435) and PS Belt (Gatorback PN:4040305). Both can be found at Autozone for less than $20 each.
