Hard To Start

[Uditha88]

Friends,

Why is a car hard to start despite engine is hot or cold. (All time)

Have to try about 3 times to get it started.

No issue in running condition.

Battery? Starter motor? clogged petrol lines?

Cross,

* If battery is week, no crank occur right? and also it'll affect when in running.

* Starter motor (no idea)

* Cleaned fuel system by a bottle or "wurth". (by driven by that bottle)

(but surely it'll not clean the fuel tank, lines up to from fuel tank to fuel filter)

**And also has a doubt that shit fuel victim

Any idea friends?

I'd say the probably suspects are

1. Faulty plugs

2. Faulty HT leads

3. Faulty ditributor electronic ignition system (check the wires etc)

4. Fuel pump

5. Clogged fuel line, filter or injectors

6. Sensors

I'll try plugging it into a diagnostic system just to see if it picks up anything

What kind of cranking do u get from the engine? Does it crank very slowly and eventually start after a few attempts? What's the car?

Is you car a manual tranny? If so, next time before you start, shift the gear to third or 4th and rock the car back and forth. Shift back to neutral and hit the ignition. If it starts without any problem, likely culprit is the starter motor.

As for the battery, ask any battery shop to check it. They also can check the starter motor and alternator.

Those are simple things you can do before you move on to other diagnostics.
