Trouble Starting?

[mao]

Just got my 92 stealth rt/tt, and im just figuring out the kinks of a 16 year old car, one of them is it starts a little hard. In saying that its never failed to start, but it does take a little coaxing. It cranks, sounds fine, and until you give it a touch of gas, or sometimes just wait a second it just cranks. It does it cold, and occasionaly warm. Anyone got any ideas? Did a search and it doesnt sound like click thing that seems to be a common problem...

Thanks!

Slow starting could be the starter, battery, or alternator.

If it's breaking up a bit giving it gas, give it a boost leak test, or possibly replacing the plugs.

The "click thing" is lifter tick. It (arguably) won't cause any harm, but is quite annoying.

That is what mine was doing .I ran a diagnostics on it and it said #1 and #4 were not firing correctly.I replaced the plugs and wires and it was fixed!
My 2 cents ...BH
