On Wed. of last week I went to start my car and it wouldn't start. Battery was dead, so I charged it up, and it started just fine. Next day, battery dead again, so I went and got a new battery. While I was at it, I got new plugs/wires, swapped them all and figured I'd be good to go. Well, Next day the car still wouldn't start easily. It would start after 3 or 4 tries, but not the first time. So I figured, it's not ignition, maybe fuel. So I bought a new fuel filter and replaced that. No dice, the car is still hard to start, but after the first start of the day, it starts normally, unless it sits for more than 6 or so hours, and then it takes several tries again. I'm not sure what it could be now, I've tried all the obvious stuff. I don't think it's the fuel pump because when I first turn the key, I can here it turn on and pressurize the system. Any suggestions? This is driving me crazy!!

have you replaced the battery? -
Did you buy the correct battery? If you don't have enough cranking amps to turn the car over, especially if it's cold..that could cause your problem.1997 Camaro RS A4 <br />3.08 Rear<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/470169\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/470169</a><p>Mods:<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Flowmaster 80 Series Muffler <br />MSD Ignition Coils<p>Soon to be installed:<br />3.42 Gears<br />MSD Plug WiresComment

the new battery has 650 cold cranking amps. It matches the old battery that I took out, so I didn't think that would be part of the problem. Any other thoughts?Psykopig16: well the car will run with a broken crank..<br />RevLimit478: yeah, it\'ll run like a fat kid in summerComment
