Default Engine start - two turns before start

Does anyone have any idea what the problem maybe? I recently changed my battery and I checked my terminals and everything seems to be properly installed. Any suggestion would be great.

It also doesn't always happen. Happened only twice but in a span of a couple of weeks.

Sounds like a fuel problem, the first turn is most likely not getting enough fuel.

Sweet. I think you're right. I'll get this fixed soon. Hopefully it won't be too expensive which doesn't sound like it will be too bad.

could be not just fuel, but fuel/air not enuf fuel and too much give simalar probs but you can pull your sparkplugs and diagnose easily. as far as your starter goes test it, it a solenoid and electric motor its very easy to test
