my car has been having trouble starting lately. i just recently chagned my spark plugs and it fixed the problem for a little bit but just yesterday the car was actin up again. before when the car would start, i would have to crank the starter for a good 10 to 15 seconds for the engine to finally start. yesterday, when i tried to start my car, i was cranking it and the rpms started to pick up to about 700 rpms and then it just dropped down and stopped. please any one know whats going on? last time i had a tune up was about 20k miles ago and i alway change my oil with mobil one fully synthetic every 3k miles. does anyone know what is going on with my car? thanks

There is only a couple things i can think it could be. It could be your starter but you said it started went up to 700rpms and shutoff?? so i dont think its the starter then. When was the last time you changed your fuel filter and ran some fuel injector cleaner through your system?? If you havent done that recently, try it. Sounds like a fuel problem so try those cheaps fixs first.

Change the ECT (engine coolant temp) sensor, very common issue forhard starting problems.

Yea...sounds like the ECT to me too. It's a cheap part.... <$20. And that is definitly a cheaper and easier fix than your fuel filter!!! I have a feeling Wicked Jester never changed his
