Exiting work, the KIA started violently shaking which I immediately turned it off and parked it.
Roughly 2 hours later, used a jumpstarter pack to turn it back on, but only turned over after several seconds of cranking.
3-4 hours later, after charging it at home, it turned over just fine- as if normal.
Waited another 2 hours, tried turning it over, but just kept cranking, tried again, and this time after several seconds it turned over.
Seems like on cold start, takes several seconds to turn it over; on warm start, it will turn over after 2 seconds, but sounds like it's about to die as soon as it catches, and then finally turns over.
I replaced spark plugs 3000 miles ago, oil 2000 miles ago..
Cleaned all contacts between battery to chassis (that my eye could see)
What am I looking at?
Very tempted to bring it in to the shop, but I thought I'd try this first.
I don't want this dying on me in middle of a canyon on the way to a housecall.
Thanks!
