If it starts getting worse it may be time for a new starter...

Had mine done last month

Does it work?? I might take it off your hands.

Paying back for not taking the MAP sensor the last time. Waking you up for nothing

when you mean it doesnt start on first go, you mean nothing happens, like the starter motor doesnt go?

Or the starter is engaged engine is spinning but doesnt start, leave it a bit then starts??
