GG @fallen hinge, you just advanced to level 13! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!

battery should be under warranty

#

have it checked

#

might just need a charge

#

reasons for battery drain:

  • something left on
  • closed circuit current draw
  • charging system (alternator) problems

#

@grand mountain would that be something stored in the engine codes? Guessing no but doesn’t hurt to ask

grand mountain
#

no

fallen hinge
#

Bc it drove fine when I went home from work like 6 hours ago

#

@grand mountain I was reading it could be a misfire but it don’t have the CEL when I drove home

grand mountain
#

I don’t see a flashing cel

#

Second vid

#

About 20 seconds @grand mountain

grand mountain
#

I would say emissions readiness monitors not set (because of dead battery)

#

my car has that feature

fallen hinge
#

How do I fix that

grand mountain
#

it’ll fix itself

fallen hinge
#

How long til that happens

grand mountain
#

usually a number of drive cycles

#

nothing to worry about unless cel comes on with the engine running

fallen hinge
#

Drive cycles? As in driving it?

grand mountain
#

yes

fallen hinge
#

How do I drive it when it’s no start no cranking

grand mountain
#

fix that first

fallen hinge
#

Yes but if it’s bc of that then how is it fixed

#

Bc if I have to drive it for the readiness to reset but the car isn’t starting bc of it

grand mountain
#

The readiness isn’t an issue

#

fix the battery issue and the emissions monitors will set when you drive

fallen hinge
#

So get new battery and hope it works?

#

@grand mountain

grand mountain
#

where did you get the battery from

#

take it back and have them charge it or replace it

#

Try jump starting your car

Orielys

#

I’ll need a jump pack then

grand mountain
#

family have cables?

fallen hinge
#

Yea but they’re in Washington

#

And it’ll be easier for a jump pack bc I’m parked in a car port

#

@grand mountain something of this sort

grand mountain
#

that or take the battery out and ride with a buddy

Battery tested good 12.6v

#

Got told it’s vacuum leak

grand mountain
#

why’s it so loud

#

did your cats get stolen

fallen hinge
#

It was just how it is when I bought it

#

I just didn’t care

#

It’s a manual so that’s why I think they did

grand mountain
#

how’d you start it

fallen hinge
#

Jump pack

grand mountain
#

okay so battery was dead

#

where’d you get the idea you had a vacuum leak

fallen hinge
#

Battery was 12.6

#

grand mountain
#

from what

fallen hinge
#

Multimeter

grand mountain
#

vacuum leak I mean

fallen hinge
#

Idk if it is a vacuum leak

grand mountain
#

well what’s the issue

#

the symptom

#

like why do you think something’s wrong in the first place

fallen hinge
#

Bc rough idle

#

Goes up to 2k then 1500

#

Then goes back and forth
