It takes 3 cranks to start

[orphe 10+ year member]

Ok when I try to start my car I got to crank it 2 or 3 times before it starts. I took the fuse out of my amp one day and it started right up . So I’m thinking its my amp ******* power from the fuel injector or something . Is there any thing I could do to help my car to start up right with out cranking 2 or 3 times?

Thanks in advance….

how recent is this problem? has it started fine with the system in it before or did you put the system in recently and now the car is doing this? i dont think it would be cause by the system, but you never know. what kind of car is it? you might want to replace your fuel filters, there are probably two. also if it is an older car you might want to replace your spark plug wires and if it is really old you might want to check out your distributor.
