alright well heres the deal......

i got home and went inside my house for like 10 min then i went back out side to my car. i started it and within like 2 seconds of starting to drive my CEL came on. i was like wtf???? its happened before then went away after like a day but anyways....... i decide to turn my car off real quick to see if maybe if it was just like a one time thing. when i go back to turn it on it takes a while to turn on now. it starts to turn over but takes way longer than usual. any ideas what it can be?

while it is running it runs perfectly fine. it does not almost die or anything and it drives fine . again its only when i start the car that it has trouble. spark plugs maybe?????

any information is greatly appreciated and i thank everyone in advance.

Check for vaccum leaks: while the car is running hover your ear above every inch of the engine bay and listen for hissing. Check your spark plugs for being fouled (should smell like gasoline).

well thanks for the response . it seems that it was my camshaft sensor. the clip that help it lock in broke so it was just loose . gotta love zip ties LOL
