So umm Im having this problem with my car. When I try to turn it on it struggles to turn on, it almost sounds like its gonna shut off. It started doing this since it got cold up here. Could it be my spark plugs or battery or something else...? This only happens when I turn it on or the first time, it doesnt matter what time of the day it is.

It was a problem that plagued me when my wife and I were living in an apartment last year and the car was parked outside. Cold starts were a PITA.

i think i am having problems with my car as well. the a/c unit is working to well. if that makes any sense.

i use my a/c it works and is cold, but it is releasing moisture around the vents.

and the bigger problem i c is that i had the "hatch" that covers stock stereo deck; i left it open while i was using my a/c and when i came to my destination. I went to close it and there was a ton of moisture on the face of it.

the thing that concerns me is that if it gets on the face when it is open. what is happenning when it is closed my deck is exposed????


i still have warranty and i plan on taking it in. but i wanted to post it on the forum to see if anyone had any ideas of whats going on. so that i can save a trip to the dealership.

Get your battery,alternator, and starter tested! Most likely it could be the battery,since it's colder up north! U can get a free check @ NTB I dont know if theirs any NTB's up where U live but U can enter your zipcode @ ntb.com or http://www.tbccorp.com/ U can also print out a coupon for a battery it comes with a nationwide warranty!

If it is cranking over slow, then yes get your battery checked. As for the moisture, the A/C can cause that and it is most likely normal operation. A/C will add moisture as condensation will build onto the EVAP from the temperature difference. It shouldn't be like water coming out of the vents, but moisture is normal. When you put it in defrost (and as long as its above freezing outside), the A/C compressor is turned on as well in case you didn't know that.

If vehicle is running rough, then take it to a dealer. :)
