hard time starting = low compression?
I noticed my car is having a hard time starting up this cold weather, it would have to hold the ignition for a good 15seconds or so before it actually starts up. Is it a sign of low compression or something else could been of a problem?

Not to jack the thread but I have the same problem. After I put in a new battery it started up right about but now 3 months after the new battery its gone back to the 15sec crank start-up thing. After its started it warms up just fine (normal about 4 mins) then idles at 750 just happily.

Kouta may have a bad alternater/voltage regulator. Charge your battery with a trickle charge overnight. If it starts right up after ten you may have weak spark from low voltage batt. ....Just a thought
