Hello,
I have what seems to be an odd problem. Have an 01 V6 that sits for a few days to a week without being driven. I'll go to start it, it will crank but not start. My battery charger shows the battery to be a bit low so I'll charge it. In 30 minutes or less, the battery shows charged and it will then start. If it sits for a few days, same thing. I replaced the battery even though OReilly's said it was good. It was almost 6 years old. Don't know for sure yet if I still have the problem but wanted to ask while I was thinking about it. Anyone know what this might be?
If not a bad battery, maybe a drain from something. If it is something battery/drain related, I don't get why it cranks but doesn't start. I'm used to cars that don't crank when there's a battery problem.
Thank for any info,
Kevin
