Agree and to me this sounds like a connection issue or the starter solenoid.A 12.4v battery will start a vehicle, or at least crank it. A failed alternator may lead to an undercharged battery but not an intermittent start condition as described.
Sulfated battery reads correct voltage but has low amperage. A trip to Autozone for load check and alt output test first...A 12.4v battery will start a vehicle, or at least crank it. A failed alternator may lead to an undercharged battery but not an intermittent start condition as described.
Certainly possible. Maybe I should not have assumed that the OP had performed a battery test before posting on here.Sulfated battery reads correct voltage but has low amperage. A trip to Autozone for load check and alt output test first...
Give the vehicle at least 15 min for the computer to shut down before testing for a parasitic draw.I'm afraid it's parasitic draw. In my work clothes I did some quick tests while home at lunch. Voltage at 14.5 when car running however forgot to load it with accessories to see if it held up above 13.5v. As soon as I took it off the charger and watched the multimeter, I could slowly see the voltage drop off. Hooked up an Amp clamp and it's drawing 700mA with nothing turned on. Also, here is the video of the voltage on a startup sequence. https://photos.app.goo.gl/rYzHKKREqeh9e9kU7
