hey all,
it is real cold here in the mornings in new york, and this morning was
really cold.  anyways, as i went out to start the van i turned the key and
nothing happened.  i turned it again and nothing.  i tried once more then
finally it turn over and engaged.  what would be the reason that nothing
happened the first few times i turned the key?  frozen starter?  battery?  i
don't think it is the fuel injection b/c the starter wouldn't even turn.
once the starter did turn the car started right up.  so, should i look
towards the starter?  the starter is only 2 years old.  the battery is old
though, could this be the problem?  this is the second time this has
happened and both times after being persistant with turning the key it would
finally start.  could this also be the result of some electrical
connections.  it might be worth noting that this is a fresh engine with
roughly 100 miles on it and i am still working out the bugs.
thanks once again for any input!
jason
