stupid car!
im having a really annoying day. I would say bad but ive had too many of those latley so im calling it an annoying day.
anyways i went to go buy gas earlier, when i left the car was a little slow to start so i figured ill just go a little heavy on the gas and let the battery charge. I got to frys and they wouldnt price match my stuff.. alright then jerks thats fine with me. Let me return it then no big deal. The guy starts giving me aditude for no reason. Oh well ill just get this over with. Sometime later he finishes i leave get in my car and start it. Hmm its taking longer to start then before. I guess ill just fly down the freeway for a 10-15 mins to let it really charge. So i took a really long way to the bank to pay for my creditcard bill and when i got out and started the car, son of a.... it barley started. So i drove locally at high rpm for 10 mins to let it charge some more i decided to go home instead of going anywhere else today. On the way home i was thinking my alt. just took a crap on me. Bad day so far. I got home and put my car in the garage, turned it off and tried to start it. Now im really annoyed it just wont start. At this point in expecting my battery to be completly dead. I checked it and its at 12.5. Hmmm it should still be enough to start the car. I hooked up a jumper pack to try it anyways turn it on. My car still wont start. It acts like the battery is dead when it should crank. arrrg what a stupid day so far.

i was thinking alt but if it was that the car should have started with a jumper pack and ran on the battery for a while. It doesnt seen like the starter because it just acts like the battery is dead.
anyone have this problem before?

i let the car sit a bit and it started right up again. i measured the battery again before i started it and it was 12.7v. after it started i measured it and it was 14.3 i think somewhere there. so my alt is working. everything seems fine now im not really sure what happened.
