Ever since I got my 8 in December, it has a long engine start, but has never not started and whether it is running perfect, or not so great for whatever reason the, engine start is always the same. My car can be running beautifully and hot or cold, I get the same sound. When I change my ignition coils tomorrow I have a feeling it may have a faster start, but if that doesn't work anybody have any other ideas?

Meant to say hot or cold same start, not sound.

Might need an upgraded starter?

check your starter, catalytic converter, ignition system and compression.

Mine is starting to do the same thing and just wondering if this was the issue? Planning to change plugs, wires, and coils too.

Thanks,

Starter

Seems to be spark related (not positive) and there is a recent loss of power noticed as well.

I changed the plugs (after 30k), and wires and coils were original (60k on them). The coils had the white spot on the backs. All is good now. An hour and a half to do it all and I really took my time. All Mazda coils and NGK plugs and wires for $270 delivered.
