starting issues

when i go to start the car it will click a few times then start. but as soon as it warms up it will start with no problems. even in the morning if it is warm enough outside it will start right up. sort of the reverse of heat soak. could this be solenoid or maybe a connection?

I would think it may have to do with your battery, how old is it? A battery that is old and tired has less cranking amps when its cold than when its warm. Look at the top of your battery it should have CA:XXX and CCA:XXX which is cranking amps and cold cranking amps, the cold cranking amps being less. If your battery is new or fairly new, check all the connections, and have the battery LOAD tested at a parts store.
