Slight delay when starting

**aZzip** · April 29th, 2013 12:18 PM

For the last two mornings (with car having been parked up all night) I have had a
bit of a delay with the engine starting up after turning the key, it takes about 2 to 3
seconds before the car actually cranks...

What would be the culprit for this?

Battery dying?

Medyo bago pa battery ko, mag 1 year pa lng sir..

Check the battery connections. Baka maluwag or madumi. Kung ganun pa din check starter baka kelangan cleaning.

Sir, Im also experiencing the same with TS and I also have an after market alarm installed in my ride. Is there any effect installing an alarm with the said issue?

as an S.O.P., please identify the vehicle so others with the same vehicle are made aware or share the possible same symptoms and share the same remedy. if the car is of age, you might want to lubricate the ignition lock cylinder and maybe the associated ignition switch attached to it. provide more information about your car and the symptoms
