ive got a problem with my gogo mobile.. nah actually my 3rd gen.
when i start it up, it sometimes turns over really slow and just keeps trying and sounds like its going to die. then i turn the key back and try again straight away and it starts up. ive already re-soldered my main relay, what else could it be?
by the way, ive put my battery in the boot and ive used 2 gauge wiring both positive and negative terminals. maybe change earth terminal of the engine seeing ive upgraded the wiring?

Also check your battery terminals and the connectors at the back of the starter motor.

after a long time you dont tdrive your car..
then u start it for the first time its sluggish, turn it off and start it and its strong! then i dont think thats the battery or anything. might be fuel or oils or something
just a thought

excuse my grammer
its late

my battery is still under warranty anyway.. so i doubt that would be the problem.
i bought new terminals when i converted the battery into the boot.
my fuel filter had been changed not long ago, oil filter and oil and i use premium anyway.
i dunno.. ill get it checked out soon
thanks again

Might be insufficient fuel pressure considering the age of your car and your pump , turn the key wait for the check engine light to turn OFF then crank.. During that time the fuel is priming up might make a difference

FYI........I had trouble starting my car today (seemed to have got worse within the last few days).

Battery is over 3 years old but had 12.5V this morning.....removed+reconnected the starter cable and she started up soon after.

it goes from the positive side of the battery to the terminal on the stater. there is also a wire that goes from the ignition switch to the stater.

Make sure you disconnect your battery before checking/playing around with any of the starter cables.
