I recently did a head gasket and timing belt job on my 97 GS-T. Now, for some reason, it seems my battery can't hold a charge for very long. I replaced it with a new battery and its doing the same thing. As I drive, the lights get dimmer and dimmer until eventually the speedometer and radio stop working. Driving faster recharges things a bit, but only until I park. It is also having a hard time starting (though this is probably just because its an old starter and the battery is going through some abuse). Also, I only drive the car once a week, if that, so maybe there is a small electrical drain taking its toll over that time period?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
