After my shift at work or longer than 11 hrs sitting my car is having trouble starting. It's on the verge of turning over but it seems it not getting enough fuel. I replaced the batter a month ago, the car runs when the battery is disconnected so it is not the alternator. Was thinking about replacing the starter but wanted to get a second opinion before I did. Once the car starts it's fine and as long as I start it once every 7 or so hours it starts right up.
My car has 90000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
