Interm. Hard Starting
Has anyone experienced hard starting (long Cranking) with your HHR. This problem is intermittent at present. Sometime starts immediately, Other times it cranks for about 5 seconds while starting. Any known fixes or TSB concerning my 2.4? Seems to be more prevalent with key start not remote. Any response appreciated

I have the same thing going on. I've also noticed that some times it will rev funny right after I start the engine. Can't take it in for 2 weeks as the dealer is over booked. I'll live with it for now.

I am just starting to notice the same with my 2.2 so we are going to the dealership to find out what's up, will also see if there is a deal to be made with this zero financing issue, might be a two HHR family by the weekend...

you might check the positive post on the battery in the back and see if it is coming loose
if it did that would recreate what happened to me.
