hey guys I just recently bought a 95' dodge stratus for my first car.  It was used and has 190XXX miles on it.  I know the family and it has not been in any crashes.  I have not driven it around much yet as i do not have it registered or licensed.  But about 3 and a half weeks after i bought it i decided to turn it on. I had not started it at all in that 3 week period. When i first tried to start it it made a repeating grumble sound at when i kept the key turned the engine started shaking.  After a couple times it started.  I tried it a couple days later and it never was that bad again. But if i wait a couple days it will make that grumble sound for a couple of seconds then it will turn on. once on it doesn't make any weird sounds and runs smoothly.  Any advice would help. Here is a video of it starting. thanks
