After few tries it starts. some times at the first or second try the program on the panel sets to factory setting (as it happens when the battery is disconnected and connected again). After the first start, if i turn it off and then turn on again in less than 10 minutes it starts normally. but if i turn head lights on, it doesn't start. i.e does the same as if it stands for long time. If i turn head light off and start, it's ok i checked the battery it gives 12 volts when off and 14 volt when running. is it battery or starter or something else any help. thanks Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Aug 2, 2012, 3:10 PM Post #2 of 3 (1733 views) Re: car hard to start Sign In You need to have the battery tested first. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. tgriffith New User Aug 9, 2012, 2:53 AM Post #3 of 3 (1640 views) Re: car hard to start Sign In Make sure the battery connections are tight and free of corrosion. I have also found on a few occasions that there is corrosion on the BAT terminal on the starter of various vehicles.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
