Sometimes when I start my car it doesn't sound right...Anyone help....

[MattM1124]

I have a 2006 civic ex and usually when I start my car it sounds fine and normal. Every once in a while though when I turn the key in the ignition it doesn't sounds normal. Like sometimes it will take longer to start and sometimes it just makes the clicking sound without starting up, so I turn the key back to the left and start it again which then it usualy sounds fine.

Anyone else experience this and is it normal to sometimes not start the first time or take longer?

thanks

Was it cold outside, or did the temperature change quickly overnight?

It just cranks sometimes? It might be the starter.

Ya, a few times it just cranks so I turn it off then start it again and it's fine.

Will the dealership be able to tell if it's a starter problem even if it starts up fine when they test it?

Cause we all know, when they would test it I bet it works fine every single time then.
