hey for the past few daysss. my car started up wierd .. it wouldnt sound the same as usual.. now earlier today, my car wouldnt start on teh 1st try... it starrts on teh 2nd. but its like tehc ar is dyyyyying and finally powers up.

i ran flashpro the other day, on a 30 mile trip. i had 6 knocks on clyinder 2

any sugestions?

mine was like that, but im not running a flashpro. it ended up being the battery.
it completely drained in 4 days. on the 3rd crank it finally turned on. i tested the battery and alternator and the battery didnt even read. check ur battery and alternator.

[gkit19986]

i def will, u think the retros are draiiining the battery that bad?

[IVtecSiR]

maybe it could be the retros but idk. maybe u need a battery with some more crank.
just go to autozone and have them check ur battery and alternator, they do it for free so it doesn't hurt to check.

u just have to listen to it and see where its coming from. check the belt.

it would help if you would spell with proper spelling and grammar so people can actually understand what you are talking about.

your street tune is most likely why your car wont start up on the first attempt, not the first crank. if your car started on the first crank, you must have the most powerful battery and starter combo ever.

when i had flashpro it took about 2 starts to get it running also didnt know why tho.

take the Flashpro off and see what happens.

I had this very same problem on my wife's car. We paid for towing to the garage, got a rental. It ended ip being a heavily coroded negative battery terminal which killed the battery.
