Engine Slow to Start

[ruimond]

It cranks a few times 2 or more times then starts. But it doesn't sound like its cranking slowly. Sounds like normal but just takes more cranks to start. So yeh it isn't instant like normal. My battery hasn't died, coz everything electrical wise has always worked.

Temperature was fairly warm the other day when it happened, its summer at the moment. But it has happened in winter before. Though we never get to around freezing temperatures really, so i think we could possibly rule that out. lol.

Many factors go into this issue...

We can rule out the battery.
It may take a few more turns to start the engine due to a previous short run. So let's say you started the engine and did not let the car run for a long time. Then, when you start it again, it may take a few more turns.
The other factor is cold weather.

Those are the major reasons for what you are experiencing. Obviously, it could be something else, but your situation sounds normal.
