Hey...I searched the forums regarding cold starting and only found threads describing a "rough" start when it's cold out. My 99 GSX has been sitting in my driveway for a little over a month and the weather has recently fluctuated from 80-90 degree days to like 60-70 degrees with extremely cold mornings..I went home today to swap vehicles and went to give the old DSM a rip and the starter "cranked" but then the car just kinda died as if it was losing power or something. The battery is fine (or so I think) because I can turn the car on and assume all normal radio/alarm/electrical functions. Does it need a jump or is there a bigger problem? This is pretty newb but I definitely need to be able to drive my car. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. :thumb:
 
Try a jump start, it doesnt take much to work electrical inside car but it takes alot to turn the car over and sitting for a month will drain a battery.
