I have a 2001 Toyota Camry with 103000 miles on it. I have changed the battery twice in the life time of the car and most recently two years ago.
Lately I have been experiencing what I can only call "delayed" starts. I crank up the engine and it whirls before starting. On two occasions its started, stalled and shutdown. I wait and crank up again.
The car recently passed inspection and I have no reason to think theres a problem here.
Could it be the battery? I should break out a DMM and check it out Could it be the alternator? How much do alternators run $$$ wize?
