Do you have any check engine lights? Anytime your vehicle misfires it will throw a check engine light with codes. It could be a number of things. Could be coils, cpu, lean codes, cat converter, could be many things. Does not sound like symptoms of a fpr to me, really need to put an OBD scanner on it.

Why is it so hard to start my car? I have 98,000 miles on it and I just had the timing chain and fuel pump and fuel filter replaced. I can't get it started usually in the cold months. It keeps turning over but it takes sometimes 45 minutes of trying to start it before it gets started. I have tried using starting fluid but it still takes a long time. Once I get it started it is fine for the rest of the day. It will start right up. But if I let it sit overnight it will have the same problem in the morning. I also just put a new alternator and battery in it and all the trying to start it is just wearing the battery down to where I have to hook the jumper cables up to another car to try and get it started. Thanks. 1 Answer
