    If its not one thing its another. Leaving work a half hour ago, my GP turned over as if it has a bad battery. I know for a fact the battery is fine, all the lights in the car we fully on and weren't dim. I have been having ignition issues where I go to turn the key and it'll take a sec or two for the motor to begin to turn, but always turns over fine. But that only happens once or twice a day, if it even happens. Tonight it started poorly like it had a weak battery or starter. Driving home, there was no Check Engine Light, which funny enough, is usually for me. My check engine light is usually on for an o2 sensor and an egr code. But driving home there was no light, even when I gave it some gas, no light, but drove normally. Got it home, hardly even turned. Didnt even stay long enough to see if it would turn over. Any suggestions.

    ( Don't know if it'll help, but here are my mods. 1000 miles on my new top swap on my GT motor, 3.2 pulley S2IC w/ flojet pump. SLP headers, and an open cone K&N filter.) S

    Clean your battery terminals. Usually a starter just quits without warning it doesn't start slow. You may have a loose connection, bad battery, or bad alternator.
