Hard Start-up

Hard Start-up
Got a question....
Lately (for the past 2 weeks) whenever I start up my 07 max after its been off for a couple off hours or overnight it seems to have a slightly rough time starting.
It always starts, but just seems to have a rough time doing so.... Other than that, if I've driven it and the engine is warm, its starts as normal...
Any suggestions? Thanks!

How cold is it in Jersey? What type of oil meaning 5w30, 10w30, etc. are you using? How many miles are on your car? Do you have a stock battery? Why are you using such big font? These are all important questions that we need answers to in order to help you figure this thing out.

1. FONT = I'm just crazy and went for it, no reason.
2. Jersey is not cold at all lately, lately its been around 65-90...
3. Max has 43K on her
4. Using stock battery
5. Using Mobil 1 5w 30 full synthetic
6. I should also add that just 5 weeks ago, I had the stealership do an oil change (this time i brought my own for about $40 cheaper from Walmart]). They also cleaned the fuel injectors and cleaned the battery too. I think they also flushed/replaced the transmission fluid....
THANKS again!!

Ok... My bad it was the power steering flush....not the tranny....
I just got home and looked at the invoice to make sure...

I would go to the dealership and start up a couple maximas and see if they are starting similar, maybe it's normal what you are experiencing. Maybe the Stealership hooked you up so you would break down and come back. They need to stay in business you know.

Try "Jumping the car, even tho it doesnt need one, If it starts fine then. That means its your battery going although it doesnt seem like battery. Check oil levels. 43K is too early for a starter but it does happen.
#13
Yeah, I don't think it is the starter...she starts fine after the first one. Something is off - fire, air or fuel. It will probably have to go to the dealership to actually find out what the issue is. They need to hook it up to their computer and then fire it up. Then they will be able to pinpoint it.

It may be the cause of many problems. Battery, ignition coil, spark plug terminals, starter, etc. For your sake I hope your problem is only minor electrical, because if it isn't... Be ready to spend money on mechanical parts. Good luck!!

yes they will go away but you can go to autozone and ask them to clear the codes or you can drive it about 20 miles and then if you still have the cel disconnect the battery for a couple minutes then reconnect and it should be gone.
