[mtlhead 10+ year member]

So my car is having problems starting...but it will start

equipment:

0 awg in knu konceptz, big 3 as well

stock batt, stock alt

american bass 100.1 amp

15" RE SX running at 1 ohm

voltage stays high while driving, i dont normally blast it around here, stays around 13.5-14.2

any reason why my car isnt starting properly? something taking power while car is off?

Have you tried unplugging your amp and sub after you shut the car off for one night? This may help eliminate that possibility. You know, it may just be your starter wearing out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

yea, i turned off my circuit breaker, i was thinking it was the starter, but havent had time to actually look at anything

what year car? i just replaced my starter in my 94 grand am 160k on it.

with old original starter it took a bit of cranking for it to fire, but now with new starter the engine fires pretty much instantly. but i also put new plugs and all of that nonsense in which also helped

pop out the plugs and check em out, hell just replace them and also if you arent to keen on changing oil very often do that. new serpentine belt? do some engine maintenence
