ok so ive had this happen a few times. ill go start start my truck and it cranks over fast starts to fire then slows down. I have to turn it over a few more times then it'll start like normal just a white puff then its good. Only has happened when its not plugged in but ive not plugged it in in colder weather and its fine batteries maybe? and its did it twice in the last 4 days. are they maybe just getting tired?

 

mine does what sounds like the same thing when the oil is low.

 

I would check the batteries and starter wiring. Sounds like possibly the starter is getting old. Mine would crank what I thought was fairly fast, sputter, try to catch, keep cranking sputter catch, start and romp and then I'd be fine... New starter solved that.

 

ok thanks ill check that but it doesn't leak should be fine

i dont think its that a new starter was put on like a week before i got it.

 

Checked oil was fine. What should be voltage with gp's on 11ish?

 

If the truck isn't running then yes.

 

Ok then batteries are good and good oil any other ideas of why it would do that?

 

I wouldn't rule out the new starter. I replaced mine in less than 2 weeks it started to acting up. Turns out I had a bad cable that I didn't catch and the low voltage/amps was enough to knock its guts out.

k how do i check it?

 

I wouldn't rule out batteries either. This weekend mine did the slow start and sputter thing. Batteries were showing 13.8 volts and when I took them in for testing both were toast. Replaced and now it starts just fine. Batteries may not be your problem but its an easy check.
