hard start up, won't start

lately i have been having hard start up problems. sometimes it will turn over, somtimes it will not turn over at all.when it does turn over it will turn a couple times, then die. then my battery voltage is low. when i can get the car to start i have to give it a lot of gas to get it to fire.
any one have an idea?

Re: hard start up, won't start

battery-starter-wires might be dirty from this items. spark plugs might need changed. my everyday car i bought used-95 grandam. one day it started acting like a battery so i had money to burn so i replaced the battery and starter since i had no clue how old the battery was and the starter was stock. then one morning i come out to start the car and it wouldn't turn over. but yet acouple hrs before that it was fine. pulled the plugs and they had nothing left for a spark.

Re: hard start up, won't start

new plugs 500 miles ago, new wires 500 miles ago, new opti 550 miles ago, all batter cables read correct volatage when they are hooked up to an voltmeter, new alternator 50 miles ago

things that are old and still left, starter, fuel pump, injectors

Re: hard start up, won't start

pull the starter and get it checked- test fuel pressure on the shrader valve. should be 38-40 range with the key in the run position and with all the fuel vacumm lines hooked up. check the volts going to and from the injectors and try it while the car is being cranked over. could be fuel pump never now. are you getting good spark from the coil, is the ICM giving of enough volts? it might be going bad or the coil. its hard to tell cars are a pain in the a$$ they don't always act the same if something is wrong.

Re: hard start up, won't start

i know injectors are good, i know volatages too all of them are correct, i cm is giving enough volts. right now i am looking at either starter, fuel pump, or battery. given these three and my symptoms, which would you think?
