First of all, I’d like to say that I love my Impala, but the starting issue can be a nuisance and embarrassing at times. It doesn’t happen all the time but sometimes it doesn’t like starting without putting up a fight. In the morning it starts right up without any issue but after that it will give me trouble on occasion. For example, after work I like to stop by the park to run for 30 minutes to an hour, and when I get back it almost always acts up. It will take 2-3 tries to get going. I have noticed that the more failed start attempts that occur the harder it is to start. On the third try I usually have to hold the key for 15 seconds before it finally comes to life.
It will also start and die or die when I put it into reverse. After it dies it takes a lot of effort to get started, at least 10-15 seconds on the key and I need to give it some gas. The weird thing is that sometimes it starts right up without any issue, the hard starts only happen 5-10 times per week.
I really do love this car and am wondering if anyone has a solution. I have been dealing with this issue for several years but it always starts so I have been kind of ignoring it. Thanks!
