Hard Start
 

While this may be a simple problem to fix I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. I drive a 95 Jimmy s-15, w/ the 4.3l. vortec, 4wd, and automatic transmission, and as the tepurature drops I have been experiencing problems with starting. It could simply be an issue with the distributor, but I do know the battery is only three months old. What basically occurrs is when I turn the key I either get no response or a very dying, crank until the fuel gets a good spark. As soon as it starts I have no problems, acceleration is good, and idle is smooth. Thanks for your time and sorry for making you read my novel.

Welcome to the forum.
If your battery is good and the Starter is cranking slow, you should check for starter draw. It could be a worn starter drawing too much power.Hook up a volt meter to your battery and see what the voltage drops to when you crank it over. The battery shouldn't drop below 9.6 volts.

Thanks Chevy Lover, I'll give that a try, if I can get my hands on a volt meter.
