Hey folks,
My battery was dying a slow death so I decided to replace it today. Everything went well, except now when I start it, it cranks for about 1-2 secs before starting. Prior to the new battery, it started up right off the bat. Not really a big deal, but I don't know if it's the start of something bad... Any ideas?

Do the old and new battery have the same CCA?

Haha, this is embarrassing to admit, but I don't know. :/
When my wife gets home I'll check the CCA of the new battery. The old battery was left at Costco.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks!

I would guess that since you bought it at costco, it's not a "high" quality battery, so the CCA is a little lower causing your change in starting.
That's just a guess though.

im willing to say when you pulled the battery the pcm reset everything, last time i had the battery off my car it took a few cranks to get started,(this last one day) and the trans shifted oddly for a few days till it re learned how i drive.
give it a day , it should be ok.

Thanks to the both of you. I'll check the CCA and also give it a day or two to see if it goes back to normal. I'll let you know what happens....

scottydogs was right. The problem resolved itself after a while... Thanks guys!

Also, the new battery might not have been fully charged. It might have only had 12 volts or so. Enough to start the car. But after a few charges it would start faster. Just a thought.
Glad it worked itself out!
