Lately when I start up my car it really seems to struggle to turn over. I don't have an aftermarket stereo or any thing that could be draining the battery, and once the car stars the volts seem fine. Any ideas of what could be causing this?
Thanks,

once the car starts, the alternator takes over. You need a new battery. I just had to replace mine this weekend. Got good at popstarting by the time I made it to autozone.

 

+1 on new battery. My car wouldn't even start yesterday, so I jumped it, drove to the nearest Kragen Auto, bought a new battery and installed it myself in the parking lot in about 5 minutes It's amazing how the car feels completely different with just a new battery! I'd go get one before it just dies completely

 

Thanks guys, any recomendations? I don't think I need thing like an Optima or anything though.

I got the Duralast Gold from Autozone...Awesome starting power.

 

Yep, definitely battery. I just had this problem last month. What a difference in start-up time and start-up power!!! I just got that Diehard gold battery from Sears for now.

 

Hey guys my z does simlar things but first start is okey but when i shut the engine and try to restart right after shut-down it kinda get sluggish, weak start!!! do you guys suggest new battery??
