Could be a weak startmotor, the bushes wear out over time and it will need replacing. if its turning over slowly it could be this, other is the battery has last its amprig as the starter motor does need a lot of amps. and other is the connection from the battery to the starter there is not good contact.

SOURCE: Car wont start

I have to agree with duane_wine. Starter makes sense. Sometimes you can jump the starter by cracking the solenoid with something metal. This doesn't always work, but sometimes it'll knock some of the corrosion off the internal componets. Good luck. Love to hear what the issue ultimately is.

SOURCE: 05 ford escape wont start. jump started it and it

okay try this....talk to your parts store and get a battery load tester, and find out if the battery is indeed dead. My guess is it sounds like the Altenator is dying. they are around 50-100 and can be install by a pro in minutes.

2002 venture wont start when its cold and rainy

Probably not. If one of the sensors were faulty you should have a check engine light on and a trouble code for the sensor.
Have you checked the plug wires ?
And as a side note, I don't show a 2002 Venture mini-van having a 3.8 engine.

Have trouble starting car when cold.when running

For issues like this it is a fuel system related problem.

Have a look at the fuel pump (located in the fuel-tank). Check for the pressure and see the fuel filter too.

Good luck dear. And don't forget to rate this solution.

My car dont like to start

A starters job is only to spin the engine over. Not to get the engine to run by itself.. Could be a faulty sensor or even a intermittant problem with the computer. You should have the computer scanned for trouble codes. The question is, is the engine lacking spark or fuel at the " NO START " moment.?.
