We checked it a few times during the time i was there, car both running and not. Also to be honest, I didnt have $180 they wanted for the "recommended replacement" and didnt give me other options than that.
So at this point I dont know what to think. Car drove from the autozone to my folks place and then to my own with no exibitable problems, so im not sure what i should be looking to trace down. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Rakcah is right---read my 14 and 16 post---Like I said, I have seen this twice before. If all is working now, you can not check anything, but having own repair shops for 10 years, I know that cars DO NOT fix themselves. Both of mine started with 3 and 4 weeks intervals and then went to total no starts. If the battery is over 3 years old it needs to be replaced anyway---sorry for the bad news, but this car HATES low voltage---many others problems can pop up---just read on here. The $180 will be cheap compared to a misdiagnoses---trust me on this one!!!!!
Now back to this problem, just wait and see. Could be weeks. Good luck and let us know! Jimmy
