Car cranks, cranks and barely starts by 3rd trial
What could this be?
Bad battery? Coolant sensor? Alternator?
I just had the coolant temp sensor replaced along with the F-Hose and the PCV things.
So today, I left the car on the paid parking on the roof (as always) for 8 hours, and I get there to go home and the car does not want to start? Can someone help me out?
The car is a 2k 2.7t

What was the temperature outside???
If it was below 15 and the car has a problem.. it could be battery ... if it starts above 15 with no issues then it definitely is the battery..

Re: Car cranks, cranks and barely starts by 3rd trial
Next time try turning the key to ON for three seconds, then off, then ON again for three seconds, then try to start. If that solves your problem, shut the car off. Let sit for no more than 10 seconds, and start again normally. If it still starts normally, fuel pressure is relieving while sitting, most likely through a check valve in the fuel supply....my explorer does this, but the check valve is internal to the pump (and tank) so I live with it and start by the method above. Free to try.
