My car has 158k miles on it and its take longer then usual to start up after the engine is warmed up. Could this mean I need a tune up. I got my valve cover gasket done recently and they said there aas oil in the spark plug alley before they changed it. Any help is appreciated.

 

I would start by testing the battery. It may be getting to the end of its life.

 

Could I jump the battery n see if it gets better? The battery is 3 years old but I dont want to buy a new one if that aint the problem.

 

Replacing the battery is a smart move. You will need one eventually and that would be a cheap and easy fix.

 

Ima buy one tommorow n see if that fix the problem. Keep yall updated

 

Most auto part stores will test it for free. Might be worth checking your current battery first then spending the money on a replacement only if needed.

 

I change the battery n still same problem. Is there something besides the spark plugs thst could csuse this to happen? Cold start up fine n fast. When engine is warm. It takes longer then usual.
