My car is being sluggish to start but always starting. It been happening for about a month now. Am I just tempting faith and need to replace the starter? It sounds like it gasps for air or something. Have a watch on youtube and please throw me suggestions on what it could be, thanks!

Some of the auto parts store chains will do a battery load test & charge for free. Check with the local Advanced Auto or AutoZone.

You can meter the battery with the car running to see what sort of charging voltages the alternator is producing.
