Starting (electrical) issue

[gstowner]

Hey guys,
I have a starting issue. It's only done it once so I cant really put my finger on what to check. I picked my car up from the shop after having it's a.c. worked on. Went to start it and nothing. So I threw a battery pack on and it fired right up. Let it run for 10-15 minutes then shut if off and tried to restart it. Same thing. So I let it sit for a half an hour or so and went back out and tried again and it started but immediately died. It did that a couple of times. So I just gave it gas for a little while then it was fine. Hasn't done it since. It also died a couple of times before that at a stop sign. So far I've checked the battery which measured 12.5v and I measured it under load which measured 10 something. The mechanic that did the ac work said to check the starter wire connector. He said he's had cases where the connector is bad and it has the same symtoms that I do. Do you think he's right? Oh yeah I'm pretty sure that it's not my alternator because I just had it out a few weeks ago and had it tested. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated


thanks guys

If you lose battery voltage to the keep alive portion of the pcm, it forgets where all the parameters are at. Once you re-establish battery voltage it has to relearn everything.

If this is not the case, then you might want to scan the pcm for codes to see if any exist.

Good Luck

So what your saying is. That something is causing pcm to not get enough voltage and thats what is causing the problem. Did I understand correctly?
