Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Every morning in summer and winter... my car struggles to start and makes a

it's cold!! you most likely have loose belt OR bad bearings in a pulley. I'm cranky when I wake up too... automobiles are very similar. good luck.. not too much cream in your coffee though. Creamer has WAY too much synthetic sugar and you a1c will go up. Your doctor will NEVER tell you this ( he's busy making money off your not needed visit).

maybe the starter spur gear is not dis engaging , many call it a bendix but that's just the name of a manufacturer , pop the hood have someone start it and take a listen
