I’ve been looking everywhere. My car chugs on every start up after it’s been sitting for a bit. Usually morning starts are fine but anytime I need to turn it off and on again she chugs. 5-15 seconds usually but I’m so lost on what it could be.
The voltage to my battery during startup drops a lot and someone told be it’s because my serpentine belt is slipping, not producing enough power
Someone told me my fuel filter isn’t allowing enough gas to start the combustion and get the pistons firing
Someone said my starter is slipping or it’s not engaging my flywheel?
Another told me my spark plugs are shot and air filter was cooked, so I replaced them (they were) but no fix
I’m new to cars, first one owned actually. All my fuel levels are up to par with a fresh oil change, I check them bi weekly when I can.
My engine light is on throwing me a P2422 code which I don’t think relates but it definitely could. Something about EVAP and stuck vent valves, which would be nice if that’s the case.
I would like any and all suggestions you could come up with. Thank you
Consider the video provided but on a much larger scale, the longer my engine stays running before a start up the longer it takes to start again.
My car has failed only once in starting which made the battery reset and having me redo my radio code prompt
It doesn’t chug consistently like this video, sometimes it doesn’t chug at all for a second then tries again. It’s a random pattern.
