In the mornings my car when starting sounds like it has to turn the crank serveral times before actually fireing up.

Maybe the crank sensor is going out?

Check your fuel pressure, it may be bleeding off. This can cause hard starting.

Yeah i've installed new plugs, wires, checked to make sure i'm getting good spark from all coils. It's just really odd...

If it was the crank or cam psoition sensor it wouldn't like to stay started. Check out the fuel pressure and see where you are after that.

Alright, what should I check? Constant pressure? Or start up pressure?

id say check fuel i had a similar problem. It may be the filter on the bottom of the fuel pump.

That's gonna suck! I really don't feel like pulling out my gas tank, so I'll check what I have to. Thanks everyone for helping me! =D

Could always be something in your lines, too.

If you do pull the tank, disconnect the line from the motor and blow it out with some compressed air.

Alrighty, i'll check out all that crap later. Right now i'm in the process of trying to get an 09 C6 :D

Since i get employee pricing i'm probably going to walk out with 46 OTD for a silver 09 C6 with 11 miles.
