I have a '04 automatic just about to hit 75 miles on it. right now i am having very minor start up probs that have seem to gotten worse, everything is stock still have replaced much. sometime after its warmed up ill go to say get gas and it wont start back up for 10-15min. and sometimes it takes long turn over to get it to start, maybe 3-5 second. Also the engine has a rough ideal, thinking that a motor mount. i was planning on replacing the ignition wires and spark plugs, also a new moto mount, along with a new starter. Any other idea on thing i should replace? or to help fix the issues im having.

Thanks!!

 

Have the compression tested.

 

When were the ignition coils replaced last?

 

Never replaced the coils, add that to the list?

 

should i do that first before spending more money on it?

 

I was also having starting problems when I first got my 8 at 68k Miles, 3-6 seconds to start up. Upgraded coils/wires and plugs, shrunk the startup to what is now 2-3 seconds. Could be your culprit. But im taking advice from people on this forum which they are very knowledgable. Calling up my local dealership tomorow to see if they can to rotary specific compression test, then go from there, rather then throwing different parts at it if the engine is failing/failed pretty much.

 

Get that compression test ASAP and then if the engine compression is good, get new coils, plugs and wires and thoroughly clean and tighten battery posts, clean MAF and ESS sensors. If that doesn't solve it, also check all chassis electrical grounds.
