    need help car struggles to start

    hello, for a while now when i put the key and turn the ignition and it wont start, you have to be at it turning the key a few times before it starts,i always thought it was the starter so i bought a new starter, and it changed nothing, im thinking it might be the ignition but a friend of mine told me to check the coil packs but wouldnt the check engine light come on if its its the coil pack?, and a friend of mine told me its about 150$ to reprogram a key to the ignition!=[, damn

    Yeah.. Check your battery.. Take it to your local Strauss, Auto Zone, etc.. For a free electrical system check.

    It might be your alternator as well. On me and MissMavs g, when she was having problems starting we first thought it was the battery, so we replaced the battery, and the same thing happened. We than realized it was the alternator, so we replaced that, and it worked fine.
    A ricer is someone who believes that lights, stickers, useless parts, stupid driving and any other abnormal or dangerous driving habits help them in their need for speed or attention.
