    Starting Troubles

    Monday, I drove my car to school and a couple hours later I was going to leave but the car wouldnt start. It would crank and crank but it wouldnt turn over. It was almost like it wasnt getting any gas. I had the car towed (thank god for AAA) to the dealer for them to look over it. They said that they checked the spark plugs and they were wet (getting fuel) and plug them back in. They started the car no problem after that. They check some other things but found nothing out of the ordinary. I picked the car up the next day and drove it home. This morning I went to start it and it did the same thing as before. I tried one more time and it fired up. :| Do you guys have any idea what is going on here? I will see later today if it starts up (crosses fingers).

    Thanks

    Its is a 318.... so it should have coil packs for the spark plugs.. the black box on the passenger side front fender... have the dealer check those and see if they are faulty.

      You let it sit for awhile, and when you first try to start it, it won't start, but if you try again it fires right up?

      Mine does that, just crank it over a few times, let it sit for 5 seconds, and start it right up.
