My AU is slow to start, the best word to describe it would be a lazy turnover but it does always starts, except for yesterday after it had been sitting for 3 days, it kept turning over no problem but wouldn't start, so switched off ignition and tried it again and it started immediatly. I've tested the battery both when the car is running and when the car is turned off and i'm getting good voltage readings both times, so i've eliminated that, i'm possibly thinking its a fuel delivery problem, is this a known problem with AU's, any further info on this or any other causes to this problem would be greatly appreciated, Thanks guys |

A battery can have the correct volts but be low on amps which will cause it to be slow whilst cranking.

To properly test the battery, you need to get a volt reading as your cranking it over..

Yeah, I'd prove the battery by swapping with a known "good" battery.
It's the least complicated thing to do as well as the most likely source of the problem. |
