Starting Isuues
Hi All
I have a 2010 base coupe it has 39k miles on it I am the second owner and not sure when the car was last serviced, I noticed a few days ago that it takes the Vet longer to start, it cranks OK but it sounds like either spark isn't there or fuel is not getting there , now this doesn't happen all the time, lately its every second or third time starting, and it doesn't matter if the car is cold or not. It some times takes a good 5 + sec to start it sounds like its struggling but the voltage appears to be there since the engine turns over quick.
I noticed there was corrosion on the positive battery terminal so I replaced the terminal end with a high quality terminal not one of those cheap lead types, but that didn't fix the issue.
has anyone experienced this, any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
before head to the dealer.
thanks
