Can you help me troubleshoot my Chrysler Concord which is hard to start?

Check voltage on the starter motor and alternator, see if they are functioning properly. Check the battery voltage also to ensure proper current is delivered to the starter.

This could be either a starter (and/or battery) issue or an ignition problem. Check: battery fluid and connections, alternator output and belt adjustment. Then check plugs and ignition system.

Typically any car that is hard to start is in need of a good tune up. Make sure all ignition components are in place and not damaged. Pull your plugs and clean or replace them making sure you have the correct gap. Also make sure your getting good fuel pressure.

Many things can cause hard starting, you should start with the battery. Is the voltage acceptable with a load? You should then check the starter and cables. Next I would check the fuel system, pump, filters.

If your car is hard to start you should check 3 things first. You should check your battery first to make sure you have a good connection.
