So I have these temporary starting problems. One day I came to my car, it started cranking really slowly, caught speed and started my car. 10 miles later, I shut the car off, fill up gas, try to start, and it just won't until the 5th try while cranking the engine for 10 seconds.
This video shows the cold start that sometimes occurs.
I thought it could be carbon buildup, and redlined it quite often for the next 100 miles. At my destination, I had no problems with restarting the engine right after, after 5, 10 or 30 minutes. The next morning it started as usual. It was 2 weeks fine, and now the problem is starting again. I assume that my coils are completely toast, or my starter is dying, but otherwise I have no idea what it could be. I doubt it could be compression as it appears, disappears and reappears. Additionally, the steering wheel is quite heavy at the start, and it has positions where it has more resistance. I might take the battery out and recharge it, in case the battery itself or the alternator is dying too. Although I doubt it's the battery since it's produced a year ago.
