Hey guys, my 08 V6 Camry had a hard start earlier today. This is the 1st time its ever happened. So naturally it has me worried a little. 1st off, it was very cold last night so that might have something to do with it. When i went to start it, it cranked, sounded like it wanted to start (when you can hear it fire but it doesn't actually start) so i turned off the key and Cranked it again and it started. Once it started, it was misfiring for a good 30 seconds. Sounded like it was running on 4 or 5 cylinders and it was vibrating like crazy. And for that reason I think it might be one or two of the coils. Anyone got any ideas? There was no CEL after this happened.

Ignition coils are a good starting point. Might try to unplug and then reconnect them all. Maybe there is some crud on the contacts. Then on Monday, stop off at the dealer and let them have it for a day.

my alternator is fine. Its not a weak crank..its just a hard start. And about the coils. I can only get to the front 3. I really don't feel like taking the intake manifold off just to get to the rear 3. lol

If you're driving and you feel a lot of vibration stop driving and get it checked out asap. Vibration is never a good thing. I could explain this in terms of physics but im too lazy >.>
