So I went to AutoZone and they checked my battery and alternator with a mchine that attaches to the battery terminals and they told me both were fine. Well I'm not sure if I believe them...
Here's what happens with my car:
- sometimes fails to start, but the dash lights come up.
- when idling sometimes the power to AC, radio, and transmition gets cut off.
- when starting from a stop sign, same as above, and car jerks a bit.
- the remote key doesn't always work, and when it does, the "beep" when locked is more like a "mooooo".
- basically it seams like there's not enough juice, but it doesn't happen ALL the time.
Here's the kicker: it all goes away when the AC is off.
So what can it be? I checked the fuses and connectors around the battery. All look fine.
