Whoops
So I went to class this morning around 11 and parked my car in the parking deck. Nothing plugged in, Lights were off, doors closed, etc.
When I got back out to my car, she wouldnt start. So I rolled her down the parking deck and popped her into 3rd and left.
Went to work at the auto shop and considering I had some time (10 minutes) before I had to clock in, I would check out everything under the hood cause I had done my valve covers last night. Went under the hood, found an electrical connection by the DIS in the back that connects to the Intake bolts left undone. So I put it back on and tightened it up.
Later tonight when I clocked out,came back out with a battery tester. Battery is 4 months old and is rated to 625CCA. Connections are fine, grounds are fine and everything is okay. Battery test reads 15CCAs. So I redid it. Test read 12CCA's. Took the connections off and re cleaned them. and tightened them back on. Battery test says 10CCA's. Battery tests are right cause I do CCA tests 6-10 times a day on a daily basis.
Her is the funny thing, I hopped in my car and it started right up, no problems at all like it was a brand new battery.
Also, before I connected that connection on the back of the intake again, I had driven the car last night with no problems and then this morning no problems, it was only after my 11am class that I had problems...
Thoughts? I would like to figure out if this is a serious problem before I get stranded somewhere...
