Hi guys,
Just looking for some advice here. Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
I have a 2002 Camry LE with 81K on it. The original battery took a crap on me yesterday, so I took it down to the Checker Auto Parts, got a new one, and replaced it this afternoon.
The new battery, other than being about 0.5" smaller widthwise, fit and installed just fine. The posts/clamps are clean and tight.
After installation the engine started up just fine. Full charge, no hesitation, etc. The only difference I noticed is that after replacing the battery it is idling very low, it even stalled out once. It's so low that when the AC kicks on it even sputters, so I have to keep the gas pedal slightly depressed.
What should I check? Is it possible the guy at the auto parts store gave me the wrong battery? Or could it be my alternator?
Thanks,
-ML
