Thumbs up Weak start

Hey kiddies!

Lately, when I go to start my car, it seems to be a really weak start. I never have to try multiple times to get it to start, but it's slower and more labored than it used to be. Once started, it runs fine & never appears to have any problems.

Any ideas?

Already did that. Oil level is fine.

Thanks for all the replies so far, guys. Sounds like the consensus is it's the battery...which is good because it's a relatively cheap & easy fix!

If its a Honda battery i would have it checked to see if its still under warranty and you might be able to get it replaced. No prob Kim
What's the warranty length on one of those puppies? I've had the car almost 3.5 years and I know the guy who had it before me owned it for about 6-8 months.

Just take it to AutoZone or any auto parts store and they'll test your battery for free. If you're over 3 years, most likely you're out of warranty on your battery. Anything over the first year is pro-rated most of the time anyways. Just spend the $70 and get a new battery.
