Mixedatlboi Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 My car makes a super ugly noise when i start it it sounds like it doesnt want to start like it might take a few seconds to actually turn over if its really warm it cranks normal but if its cold it takes a moment I want to kno how to fix it because i want to get a push button start or maybe remote start and it might not work because it takes so long to turn over .. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
///BHRpowered Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 remotes do not play well with millenia's, a push button start is just a relay, it won't actually change anything about the starter. some older starters might have problems cranking in the cold, almost like there isn't enough juice in the battery, but in extreme cold is could be the battery, good or not. If you hear a grinding noise or anything after the car cranks over then the starter is going bad. Now, if it cranks at normal speed, and just takes awhile to turn over make sure you have a decent amount of gas in the tank, even with 4-6 gallons sometimes millenia's don't like to start right away, could also be a delayed fuel pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Wouldn't hurt to check the battery as a starting point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazdaMomma Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 always check the battery first. also, you might want to check the post terminals. Mine was bad and caused a startup problem. if those are good, then move on to checking that you have plenty of gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 a few seconds of cranking, or a delay in the starting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixedatlboi Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 a few seconds of cranking, or a delay in the starting? its just attempts to and after a few seconds of holding it in the crank position it will crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazdaMomma Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 sounds like it might be the starter or possibly the alternator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troutman Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If the battery is more than a few years old, replace it before thinking about the alternator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

///BHRpowered Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 over the past few years its become clear that the east coast has the most millenia's, especially NJ, atleast in terms of members, even then, maybe under 20 for the state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbylamb2006 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I'm 4 hours from Atlanta. I live in GA. I wish the next milly meeting was in Atlanta so I could drive to it relatively easy. But man yeah my car was doing that...turn the key and chug chug chug chug vrooom...and then i got the new interstate battery with a 2 year warranty on it and then chug chug vroom vroom vroom..... it helped the situation.
