- I have an Alfa Spider '88. I don't drive it too often, so I try to at
- least start it once a week. I'd always have to crank it like 20 times in order
- to get it started. (Today I couldn't even get it started. Maybe it is the
- weather -- it is pretty cold here in NYC.) I checked the battery, it seemed
- ok.
-
- Anyway, usually once the car get started, it runs fine and I could restart
- it with no hassle.
-
- Is there any thing I could do so I don't have to crank it like I have to
- now? Cranking it would really wear out the engine...
-
-
- Thanks.
