As the weather has been getting colder <40deg f. My starter is turning over a lot just to get the car started. Came to a peak last week, my car had been parked at the airport garage for the week while I was away. The car finally started after about 15 mins of the starter turning over and over.

No mods, bone stock, new battery. I let the fuel pump run a few seconds before I actually hit the start button.

No CEL light has been thrown and once the car does start and is warm, there are no issues.

Checking my maint logs, my car is due for a spark plug change. Could it be related to that or something else?

Any help is appreciated.

 

I'd certainly give the plugs a looksee before I pursued any thing else.

 

so what was the issue? mine is doing the same thing. only im lightly modified. sometimes it fires right up, and sometimes it dont. like you said it takes a while. i will stop and wait 5 minuts, the she will start right up. i cant seem to figure it out. plugs are good. only thing is i just replaced the throttle body with the SOS oem remanufactured one.

 

i have a similar problem, only when i hit the start button nothing happens at all, for a couple of times i get this then all of a sudden she fires up, is this a starter issue?
