Default Car was hesitant to start

Yesterday as im leaving work I go to start my 2000 s2k, It took about 10 seconds for it to finally turn over and start kinda sounded like the battery was dieing. Havent had a problem since anyone have similar problems?

Mine is doing something similar. Mine acts like it's going to die, and has a couple times in the morning. I took it to my local dealership and they said they couldn't find anything. Good luck.

unbolt ur battery terminals and give them a good cleaning. the battery posts too. even if theres is no visible corrosin, there can still be high resistance.
this may not be the cure for ur problems but give it a try. might save you some money.

Most likely, it's your ECU adjusting to the decrease in temperature. Should be ok in a couple of days
