rough starting-long Posted by markatl [Email] (#1833) [Profile/Gallery] (more from markatl) on Wed, 4 Apr 2012 13:43:39 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My newish 04 Arc(40,000 miles) is having a hard time starting. Sometimes when turning the ignition there is a half second pause, then starts. Other times it starts but runs rough for 5 or 10 seconds then levels out-now I rev the engine to get it smooth sooner-it rattles pretty rough. Once I get it going it runs fine; although on my trip to florida I got 29 mpg and I should get at least 2 more than that. Yesterday it even started then conked out. I had the issue a month back as well but sorta went away until the last few days.
Could it be something as simple as inconsitent spark plug gaps when I changed them a few months back. I have done spark plugs several times on my last 9-5 and never had a problem but this time I wasnt as confident.
And something that may or not be related; there is a whining/whiring from behind the dash when I have the AC on.
Any help would be great.
