Hello there form Denver!

I love your informative videos and appreciate your honest approach to vehicles. 

I have a question about my 2012 Mitsubishi Galant. It's got about 162,000 miles. I do regular maintenance like oil change, spark plugs, brakes, recently changed the battery and alternator. It's been a great car, had it over 6 years. But I've noticed more and more that when I turn my key to start it, it makes a lagging sound. Like I mentioned before, I recently changed the battery and alternator going that it would help but sometimes it's so bad that I think it's going to leave me somewhere. I am wondering if it might be my starter. I do have a short video of it if that helps. This is one of the times that it started pretty quickly. But there's times where I have to stop, completely turn off the key, wait, and try again. There's times when it really struggles to start. Any help, advice, and recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Even though they are new load test the battery and alternator. Check battery cables for corrosion and voltage drop.
