Problems Starting Sometimes...

[lighty01]

Hi,

ive noticed that sometimes when i try to start my car early in the mornings with my wipers, cdplayer and headlights on i get the ticking noise as if my battery is flat, when i turn everything off and start it starts ok...

sound like the starter motor?

any ideas?

sounds like ur battery isnt holdin a strong enough charge.

if u start ur car without ur head lights and all that other stuff on and it makes the noise then get a new battery.

bout $100 for a century one from autobarn.

if u have a volt meter test the battery for what voltage it is, if its less then about 11volts u have nearly no hope of startin ur car, test it with all ur lights and stuff on and if it goes below about 11volts thats why ur noise is there, u will find that without all ur things on like ur headlights the voltage charge is higher so its easier for ur car to start.

i recently had to get a new battery and i can start my r33 first thing in the mornin when its cold with everything i can think of on, i got a $100 century one.

hope that helps mate
