Hard Starting

This is the most common form of car
trouble. It's usually due to some
unperformed maintenance.
If the starter cranks the engine, the
electrical system probably is ok. The
culprit could be a starting sensor (on fuel
injected models) or the choke mech-
anism (on engines with carburetors).
Frequently, starting failure can be traced
to an electronic component or a
computer controlling the ignition system.
