Guys, need ur input...Driving 2012 CFE, from time to time always hard to start, like need to crank twice only can start, so didn't pay much attention to it...But last week, as usual, everytime when first time start, need to crank twice only can start, then after drive around, off it, go take breakfast, then want to start again, crank for 4-5 times only can start, after that, no more cranking for the rest of that day...

So I'm looking for recommendation on which outside workshop that experienced in solving cranking related issue...

Initially thinking to go back service center, but change my mind choose outside workshop better

this one first thing to check is change battery (i suggest amaron if you're replacing) and spark plugs.
sounds like battery not strong so need to drive around for alternator to charge the battery, but thats just my initial guess base on your description.

if you haven't done change battery and spark plugs in a while then this is the time.

just changed to new batter this year during end MCO time
probably spark plug...
but if goto prevoc fb group, there got few different suggestions about this
the usual cause of this issue is OCH, which i know about this on the 3rd or 4th year since this model launched


anyway, is spark plugs changes according to mileage or according to duration?
for example, engine oil need to change every 5000km or 6 months, regardless u drive alot or no, when 6 months duration, need to change engine oil...
