I also have the automatic and yes it was taking an "extra second or two" to fire when cranking. After jumping it this afternoon, I took it to Advance Auto where I had bought the battery. They had me turn it off so they could check the battery. They said it was a little low on charge but the battery was good. He then asked me start it up so that he could check the alternator. It started instantaneously. He also said that the alternator checked good. He said there must be something draining the battery. Can the RCM problem cause the battery to drain?
