2010 Corolla starting issue

[TheSpartan]

This is the first time it happened. Went to target to get some groceries, and when I was about to start the engine to head back home, it took 4-5 cranks before it starts. Never really showed any symptoms nor have I ever felt anything odd. Any thoughts?

Might be a weak battery or something. Check that first + the connections. If not, might be that the spark plugs are failing... or the fuel injectors. If you think it's bad then go ahead bring the car to the dealer.

Battery's new so I'm good with that. Might ask for some help from a buddy of mine and check that spark plugs and fuel injector like you said, thanks man! Will update soonest.

Have you checked if it's related to your fuel system like your pump taking a moment to prime?
I don't know where you're at exactly but the cold weather can affect that.

4 to 5 cranks typically indicate that the fuel system isn't maintaining pressure immediately after turning off. It might be a clogged fuel filter, a leaky injector, or a weak fuel pump

To prime the fuel system, try turning the key to "on" (don't start) a few times before starting. Get a mechanic to examine the injectors and fuel pump if it continues to occur
