Default 94 Camaro V6 Cold Start Issue

Camaro starting issue - YouTube

The video shows exactly my problem. When I turn the key, you will hear the click and my dog barking. I;m holding the key turned towards on and you can see and hear the engine struggling to start, eventually it'll turn on and stay good through out the day, when it starts to cool off, it begins yet again. I also feel the vehicle hesitating once it's on, as you can hear after it's turned on. What do you guys think?

Clearly the dog is the problem! LMAO

Any codes? If not get it scanned if SES light comes on. How is your fuel pump pressure? Have it tested. How many miles since your plugs and wires replaced? Fuel filter ever replaced, if not, start there. This reminds me of some problems I had on my old '95 3.4L...

I see your engine turning over very slowly and choppy at first. The problem is with your starter, or the electrical connection to it. Remove and clean all your connections at the starter and battery, then reconnect. But I'm putting my money on your starter going south. What's going on there is not ignition or fuel related.

Yeah No Lights, I got rid of the " The Haunting of the Engine Light" long ago, so it's been fixed. ^&&* Sensor causing issues.

Haven't checked fuel pump, it's been awhile since I changed spark plugs and wires. Fuel filter? nope haven't changed that either. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check it out.

I been wondering about the starter, so I'll check that also. I haven't cleaned that connectors for a long time. I'll do that as well, thanks for the tips.

Its in your battery connection 100% the problem it corrodes inside the wire usually on the negative side but ive seen it alot on the positive side to. What happens is the terminals get oily or greasy and the lead seeps down the wire instead of on the terminal,, replace or clean your wires. You can buy a cleaner detector at just about any autoparts store by CRC yellow can,, it turns pink that means clean it!
