Here's what was happening when I cranked it:


I'm posting this just as a preliminary.

I have another vehicle I used to go to work, which is where I am now, and I'll be digging into it further when I get home this evening.

In the meantime, I was hoping someone can give some ideas on where to start with this one.

I must admit, my car has had hesitation issues when starting before this (should have dug into it already, but have been crazy busy), so I'm thinking a bad coil. Anyone else?

 

Probably a dead battery.

No, that doesn't make sense.

 

Makes perfect sense.

I had a mess on my battery terminals and a simlar thing happened. Had to clean the crap out of them and re-tighten. It started up perfectly fine ever since.

Check your battery terminals to make sure they aren't dirty or loose first!

 

You're both correct.

The battery is actually less than a year old, but it turns out, the positive connector was loose.

I had the same thoughts about the battery at first, but when I did the video, I had on a battery jumper attached to the car. But then again, that wouldn't matter if the damned terminal was loose.

I also did a search on here and saw someone with hesitation issues figure it for a coil issue.

Oh well. At least it was cheap fix. And a lesson learned.

 

It's always....

 

LOL

Might have you steal your sig quote for mine.
