Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Leading evidence: 'y cable' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'y cable' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check voltage' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

Suggestion
Also before you can fix it or get it fixed use a tricke charger to keep the battery topped up this will ensure it has enough voltage to start

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey all- 2008 C4S 6-spd... Cold starts are fine, but when warm it takes quite a while to turn over, to the point now where it takes 2-3 tries to start up. I feel like i remember reading something about this, but can't seem to find it. Any input? Thanks

POST 2Original post

Hey there, Most likely the Y cable from the starter to the alternator. Ashai did a great write up on how to test. The basics are: - get the car hot - turn on headlights, Ac, radio to simulate load - check voltage from behind the alternator with a insulated bent piece of wire to get to the terminal - check the voltage at the jump start post If they differ the cable is cooked and needs to be replaced. There however are other things that can cause this problem: - crank angle sensor - starter - venting valve (only if the car won't start after filling gas) Hope that helps!
