[QUOTE="stangposse, post: 9331844, member: 78884"] My 93LX 5.0 is giving me issues. It seems I can only start the car 2times before the battery doesn't have enough juice to start it a 3rd time. For instance, I'll put a brand new battery in the car and it will start right up. I'll let it run for 10mins then shut it down. I disconnect the cables and close the hood. A week later I'll do the same and it will start. However, a week later it won't crank, just do that violent clicking sound that it's done whenever I had a dead battery before. The car has a brand new alternator. It also has underdrive pulleys. When I run the car, i use no lights or accessories and I make sure the car is revving a little higher to keep the volt meter up. The charger shows that the battery is charged and even with the charger hooked up in "start" mode I still only get the crazy clicking...but the lights and radio work. However, if I slap a brand new battery in there, it'll start. I have the original cables (they are not too bad)on the car and it's also the original starter. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
