I just replaced my battery with a brand new unit, but my car is still hardstarting sometimes.  What could be the problem?  Are there other parts that need to be replaced. Tnx.

grounds and starter are good places to check up first.

Forgive my ignorance but where is the starter located? ::)

same thing happened to me before, i had my alternator and starter cleaned pero it didnt solve the problem. i brought it to electrician and what he did is he installed relay to my starter and it solved the problem. hope this helps.

Speedy,

It's a 1993 lancer GLi.  I might look into the relay thing from the previous post. TY :)

It is possible that the ignition needs to be checked.

Yeah. The difference is that when you have a brand new battery, you know that the car is going to start.  It's just a hassle not to have one-click ignition.
