Car never wants to start in cold weather
I bought my ford focus in 2011. After buying , the
dealership ened up changing my fuel pump and
filter because the car would tug anytime I came to
a stop as if I was repeatedly pushing on and off of
the brake. The problem still occurred so they sent
the car to an actual mechanic where they said it
was bad engine coils so they replaced all 6 I
believe.. and it did solve the problem for a bit.. but
it came back. The car also has a very hard time
starting (mostly in winter weather) but sometimes
through warmer days as well . I turn the key and
the car sounds like it wants to turn over but I have
to hold it for up to 10-15 seconds pushing the gas
petal til it actually starts from time to time I put the
car in reverse or drive and begin going and the car
dies on me, leaving me to put the car back in park
turn the key and turn it back on or sometimes the
car doesn't even turn over , both leaving me to
have to wait a minimum of 30seconds. I've taken
the car to multiple shops all saying they can't seem
to find something wrong with the car . The last
place I took the car the guy said he believes it has
to do with the anti theft lock system and it is
wanting to turn on as I'm driving causes the
tugging and the hard time starting as well and
that's why I have to wait 30 seconds to turn car
back on. I get my battery / alternater / starter
checked whenever I go buy oil and filter and
everything always come back fine.. as well as the
tugging at night all the lights dim when as the car
tugs or when I push on break or gas. . I want to just
sell the car but the car runs great except this very
annoying issue . I also don't think I can get much
for the car if the person experiences the problemd
while test driving ..
