So sometimes when I start my car it wont crank up and Id have to try again till it starts up...im thinking its the battery...

What do you guys think about the optima batteries?

I have a sound system in my car with 2 10's subs and in-dash dvd and I think its draining out alot of the power from the battery...

Thanks,

Try turning the key to "on" for a couple seconds, then try to start the car.

yea gt96 I guess I have to do that so it charges up a little or something...do you have the same problem??

so its my battery and not something else right?

JJ03MustangGT

take a volt meter to your battery and see whats it puttin out

I think the point of turning it to "on" is to let the fuel system pressurize. If I just quick turn my key, it starts really weak. If i let it sit in "on" for just a second or two, it starts really strong.
