Need a little insight, 2010 CX9, 3.7 eng, 155000 miles. Issue I’m having is, first start up of the day it starts like a top, as the engine heats up(running approximately 20 min -1/2 hour), 2nd start up is labored(sounds like a bad battery), Battery numbers are;
-Resting 12.7
- while cranking 10.8
-Once running 14.5( alt. Seems to be charging)
Had the battery tested at auto store/ load tested, everything looked good, I was told it could be corrosion on the starter wires, cleaned up starter connections, tested voltage to starter-12.7 resting, did anyone ever run into this with any car? Digging on the internet I found some possibilities, one being that heat from the engine over time solidifies the grease in the starter, now I may see that happening but, first start of the day starts fine, actually starts fine again after engine cools down, sorry this is so long but trying to be descriptive where it helps
Thanks in advance..
