I bought this car when it had 22k miles on it, and I've not done much more than get the oil changed on it. I've changed brakes and tires but that's all I can remember changing.
In the past month or so the car has been giving me problems starting. It will crank but not fire. I usually give it some gas and try again and it will eventually start. Once the car is started, it idles smoothly and drives fine. This is not just from a cold start, but even if I've been driving for an hour and stop at a rest stop and come back out it may still give me problems.
Yesterday I had to crank it for almost 20 seconds to get it to start. I drive probably 500-600 miles per week and I don't want to get stranded!
I replaced the spark plugs since I don't think they'd ever been replaced. They really didn't look bad at all, so I could just be forgetting replacing them another time. Regardless, that didn't fix the problem.
What else can I try?
