hyundai slow cranking at times Sign In

2002 hyundai accent, 1.6 engine, auto trans.
cranking speed fine except on rare occasions, turn key and very slow crank or no crank. sometimes starts to crank fine , then very slow then cranking speed ok.
return key to off and then try again cranks fine.
parts replaced with no effect.
battery,
battery cables,
starter.
also what is different on this hyundai then my other identical
hyundai is that i do not have to press the button on the side of the shifter to go from d to 2 to 1.
the slow cranking problem occurs about 1 percent of the time.
thanks

Would help if you can narrow down something common with the 1% of the time. Is that when the car is hot or had just been turned off within a few minutes - anything common to when that can happen?

Hi,
Thanks for looking at our post. It only happens when it's cold, on the first start try.

You've replaced about all that would come to mind and I was thinking a maybe of a tight engine from heat so that's out for now.

What comes to mind now is the battery and charging system. Battery may be new and still not right by itself or because it doesn't get or hold a full charge.

Sometimes when marginal a try to two warms things up and can surprisingly start more aggresively on a subsequent attempt.

I guess I'd be looking for voltage drop when starting - not to drop below about 10v while cranking and if so move on to testing that battery and charging system - also leaving open the possibility of a triclke drain that might be intermittent. Doesn't solve much right this second but is something to test out.

Perhaps a meter you could hook up to a power port/lighter would be best so you could just leave it where you can watch it over several starts from inside the car,
