Weird problem when starting car..
Okay, so, sometimes, the car will start as soon as you turn the key.. The normal 1-2 cranks, and it fires up like a champ.. Now, randomly, every 15 starts (or so), the car will crank 4 times before it starts. What would cause this inconsistency? It is completely noticeable, and horribly irritating.

Or the number of times you hear the crankshaft rotate?

2. Will check tomorrow morning.
3. Brand new plugs, (And fuel filter), were installed by myself when I first noticed the problem. Didn't fix anything.
4. Will check tomorrow morning.
5. New fuel filter was installed like I said above.
Maybe that information well help narrow it.
Times you hear the crank rotate. I'll turn the key once, and sometimes it'll rotate 2 times, like it should.. And, other times, it will crank like 5 times.

Sometimes cars just take longer to start, could be the weather.
Personaly I think your chaseing ghosts, and looking for a problem
where there isnt one.
