Hey everyone am trying to diagnose some form of electrical problem. I will do my best to describe the situation.

Since I picked the car up it has always taken a few extra cranks to get started however hasn't had any problems starting just takes about 4 cranks to get going. Recently it has stalled on me a few times at various points driving, once while coasting along doing about 30km/hr and a couple times while stopped idling.

After stalling on a few occasions I have tried restarting however just sits cranking over... After a few minutes sitting there it managed to start back up. Twice I have had to jump start however took a few minutes even with this so not sure the jump starting was the aid in this situation or simply the time sitting.

Tested batter (good condition, tested @ 550 CCA) tested alternator (reading of 14V) battery terminals/connections in good condition.


Any suggestions / prior issues similar would be helpful in diagnosing the issue

Start with new gas or the plugs.

New plugs are in. Has a tank of good gas.

Any more ideas ?

Do the idle learn procedure. Maybe the change in weather is messing with the ECU until it adjusts.
