Alright here it goes.
First of all a while back my starter decided to become wack on me (kinda) it would start up fine (takes a little more turns) but have a grind sometimes. (I am thinking the flywheel teeth are a little chewed up) Now it's summer nice and warm out. I start my car up just fine first try, but after she warms up it's a whole diffrent story. When I try to start it after it's been driven it sounds like the battery is dead and barely turning over. (Most of the time it starts with alot of effort but today it didn't) Any way a nice guy came over and hooked up some jumper cables and it jumped but still sounded weak. Now I am thinking my battery doesn't have enough amps to turn over my starter. I drove home tested my battery with the car on it showed a 14.2 V but with the car on, radio, lights and hazards it droped to a 13.8 and the lowest was 13.2 AHHH. Is it my alternator. With the car off and all accesiors on the battery doesn't drop below a 12.3. So my question (Finaly
) is what do you think Batter or alternator?? I pretty much ruled out the starter.
