Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your 300. A lag when starting often points to an issue with the battery, starter, or ignition system. If the battery is weak or has a poor connection, it might not supply enough power for a smooth start. A failing starter can also cause hesitation. Additionally, problems with the fuel system, such as a weak fuel pump or dirty fuel injectors, can delay ignition. Checking for trouble codes in the computer might also give clues about what's happening. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
