it starts, but struggles???
Hey guys

encountered a problem yesterday which is very abnormal. I started my car during the day and it seemed like it struggled to start? Almost like lack of gas? It does turn over but it just doesnt seem as willing to start.

any ideas ????

how new are the plugs and coils? have you replaced the fuel filter? are you shutting it off quickly when the engine is cold?
