[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 15195970, member: 10912"] Sorry, I am just seeing this now. Thank you for taking the time to post and help. As of now the starting issue is still present...I think. My new alternator took care of the battery problem, as I mentioned before. I thought I had a draw happening but apparently I'm not since I let the car sit for a few days and the battery still showed 12.6 volts. I have to look into it more, but I'm wondering if my dash cam is drawing a tiny bit. I have it hardwired to power but it shuts off when the car is off, so theoretically it shouldn't be using any power. But, maybe it is for some reason. To check this I started unplugging the wire into the camera when the car is off. So far, after about 5 starts, the car fires right up. Before that it never went 5 in a row. Going to keep testing this to be sure though. I barely drive the car anymore (about 500 miles since early November), so I haven't spent much time on this in the past few months. [/QUOTE]
