Why does my car start so hard in the morning?
It’s a common occurrence as low temperatures can cause your car battery to produce less current, making it that much harder for your engine to turn over in the morning. The cold can also stop your engine oil from flowing as well as it should, which puts even more strain on the battery.
Why does my car take longer to start sometimes?
The reason for your car taking longer to start can depend on a variety of conditions including weather, battery health, starter health, fuel pump health, and other factors. If your vehicle is slow to start, or if something seems to be wrong with your vehicle, it can be tricky to find the cause.
Why does my engine crank so long before starting?
When an engine cranks for a long time before it starts, either spark or fuel is missing or weak and each has its own reasons. A bad coolant sensor, a bad throttle position sensor (TPS), a bad fuel pump or a plugged fuel filter can all cause a lean condition causing long cranking times.
Why does my engine hesitates when I accelerate?

Can bad spark plugs cause hard start?
Hard-Starting Engine When one or more plugs go bad, you do not get the same starting power. That can lead to one or more cylinders not firing correctly, which can make it harder for your engine to start. If your car increasingly becomes harder to start, a new set of plugs and wires might be needed.

What causes a car to hard start at idle?
35 years of experience There are many causes of hard starting but illustrative ones are a faulty engine coolant temperature switch (sensor), malfunctioning idle air control (IAC) valve, vacuum and EGR leaks, inadequate fuel delivery or pressure (clogged fuel filter, injectors), and contaminated or old gasoline.
Why does my car take so long to start when hot?
The engine’s hotness or coldness can both contribute to the difficulty when starting the engine. Some drivers know that their cars do not start as snug as it should when the engine is hot or cold. Among these drivers, only very few know what to do.
