I am having this wierd starting problem that I can't figure out. Every once in a while... maybe once a month or longer, it just won't start. There seems to be power to everything, not even a dimming of lights at all. I've even checked the battery on my charger and there is plenty of juice. It does not even attempt to turn over. It seems like it just fixes itself after 10 minutes or so and starts up great. Then it doesnt happen again for a while.
Any ideas? --------------------  |

Thanks for the tips, I'll give them a shot.
Its not like I left the car not running for days. Its like I stop at a gas station to grab a pack of smokes or some gas and it doesnt start back up. Its wierd. Its not really that old of a battery, 6 months to a year. And like I said, the power is fine even when it wont start. The prob is that it wont even try and turn over. No clicking, sputtering... just nothing. I'll let you know if I find anything. Thanks again for the tips. -------------------- |
