Car has trouble cranking, sometimes nothing, sometimes turns over, sometimes cranks fine
What is your question?
I hear what sounds like a electric motor when I turn key to on postition. I've managed to be able to start car Everytime so far but sometimes it takes 6-8 tried. When it does start it starts without hesitation.
What makes this problem better or worse?
I reset the key and try again until it starts
