Start Up issues.. - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

just wondering if this is normal or should i look to get the starter checked out....sometimes as i'm starting up, sounds like the car is struggling a bit to get going. it doesn't happen every time, nor everyday. just here and there.

I have the same symptom.

I think that it's a common issue with our cars...nothing to worry about. Pretty much just an annoyance more than anything.

Same thing happens to me, i think its always whenever its a cold start. I figured maybe my battery is loosing charge, but i never really bothered to check it with a meter. I probly will this weekend

I found that if I let the car finish doing what it's doing when I turn the key (before I try to start the engine) it does not to the slug start. Just wait till the beeping stops before you try to crank the engine.

Plus that gives you plenty of time to put on your seatbelt and adjust the radio or roll down windows.
