excessive turnover

CBSTANG · June 15th, 2008, 10:56 AM

Hey guys i have an 02 gt that for the past month seems to be turning over a little longer than usual. Right now its taking about 10 or more cranks before it starts. Is there something i should be looking at? It used to start up on 1 or 2 cranks. Let me know, Im not sure where to start. Thanks

Start with the simple things, check your battery, clean the post, when is the last time you changed your fuel filter, how about plugs and wires? Are they the origionals?

i changed plugs about 7000 miles ago. Nevver changed the wires or fuel filter. I have 47,000 miles, are wires needed already? i aint lookin foward to that bill. I guess ill start with the filter.

Id start with the battery and filter first, I ended up replacing the battery and the battery post contacts to the wire itself and problem was solved.

+1 on what these other guys have said.. more than likely it's something that is not too involved that you can find and take care of yourself fairly easily
