Having a little hesitation on the starting of the car. Time for a tune up? More oil needed? I haven't changed my spark plugs for four years what do you think?

thanks for the help

My guess would be the battery.

Mine went just short of 6 years.

Give that map sensor a good few whacks! Then disconnect the battery for 2 min. Cars ECU will re-set and learn new settings and hopefully adjust to the weather. See if after 3-4 days of starting and running if it's any better.

I'm actually having the same thing happen. It started happening last week. It's not the battery, the engine just doesn't want to fire the first try. Kind of sputters and hicups for a sec or two then dies. Starts up on the second try no problem. I think maybe it's just PO'd that it's been raining for 2 weeks and I haven't driven it that much....

I would try resetting the ECU . The weather does have alot to do with it .

Thanks everyone....It is a new battery. I bought it this year after bring it out of storage.
It never dies just hesitates. But I will see. Yeah this weather really sucks big time.

Thanks again.

Not saying change the battery , just disconnect it for a few to reset the ECU
