okay its been about a week now and my car has had trouble when i flip on the ignition, at first i heard a what type of noise should i call it .... u ever try to turn ur ignition while ur cars on....yea it made that noise the other day as i was starting my car up, today.... i start my car up to drive my sister to school and it felt like ignition was struggling, kinda like it skipped..... anyone have any idea what this could be or how ic ould fix this......sorry if the descriptions arent really good cuz i dont know the car lingo

 

Do you have an amp and subs, or have you jumped any cars lately? Your battery could be on the way out. There's a slim possibility that your alternator is toast, or you might not be running the car enough to charge the battery well.

Find a buddy and swap batteries, you'll know right away if that's the problem, otherwise the dealer can help diagnose any other electrical problems.

 

i did have an amp.....and it hink it drained my battery because know when roll my windows up nd down with my lights on i can see it dimming.....i kinda guessed it was my battery but yea......thanks man

 

Sounds like battery, u would know if it was the alternator, ur car would die while ur drivin it.

 

ok well... would it stil lbe the battery?... because last night... i had my lights on and my radio... my car was idling in a parking lot.. *i have an automatic*. but my engine just stopped... scared the crap out of me but i did notice that my lights and my radio was still on... what could this be now?! someone please help

 

bad ground?

I was having headlight trouble the other nite, i was kinda tired and it looked like my drivers side headlight was dulling out, i was like damn, these bulbs aren't that old... then while i was filling up it was like BRIGHT on the passenger side, and like no light on drivers side, i pop the hood and see the head light connector was loose...

all in all, its prolly just ur battery ( just is kinda a wierd way to put it, they can be pricey for us students... ) but at least its simple...

 

thanks alot man.. im pretty reassured that its my battery... the car runs great and everything but other than that problem im having... its all good the car only has problems starting up every now and then... very rarely now.. i gota get a new battery on my payday.. anyone know a good brand of battery to get?!

 

not sure but relocate it to your trunk!

 

Why relocate it to the trunk? That makes for less weight on the two front wheels, causing less traction
