I'm hopeless ...

Hi gangs,

I own my Altezza since 2001, it's running fine since a few weeks ago.

Whenever I try to start my engine in the morning, the ignition will sound for about 7-8 times before the rngine can be started. In normal case, the ignition will only sound about 4-5 times. Seems that the battery is low because all the warning lights will be very dim. However my battery was changed in February and this symptom will not appear during other times (only when the engine is cold).

I changed my spark plugs last week, also cleaned my butterfly throttle already and now I'm hopelessly asking for help.

Please do let me know if you have similar experiences, thanks.

what kind of battery do you have? My car sounded really lathargic when i would try to start it and my headlights would dim with my stereo if the fogs were on too so i got an Exide deep cycle battery...no more problems...it starts with authority now and i can keep the fogs on with the headlights and no dimming.
