T_Altland27 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Quick question not sure where to look maybe battery or alternator I don't know but on cold mornings like 40 degrees and below when I go to turn my key over there is a 4 second pause before the car starts to turn over I'm not sure if thats normal or not but I don't think it is just wondering what it could be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Clean the battery cables and make sure they are tight. Your close to having a 5-6 y/o battery, might be time to think about replacing it. 6 or 7 years is about normal life.

R15 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Can't speak to York but up here in the PA mountains batteries don't make it through more then 5 winters. PS: don't buy Optimas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Altland27 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Ok thats what I thought it was I figured it be the battery I had the car since last winter when I first bought it Idk about the previous owner but I'll check it all out though and possibly get the battery tested to see how much life is left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akasa Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 We don't get much more than a few years of life out of batteries here in Michigan, i'm actually surprised that yours is still cranking. You may want to go ahead and replace it flat out. Nothing sucks as bad as being stranded with a dead battery in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
