help!!! starter,battery???wtf
ok well my runner has a hard time starting up after its been sitting for like 8 hours. I find it especially hard when I first start it in the morning and after work. it barely tunrs over , but no warning lights come on or anything. One time it would start at all and I got a jump and it was fine , so I am thinking the battery is screwed up not holding a charge or something. Also if I drive somewhere for about 5 min or so, after it barely starts, I can turn it off and it fires right up. seems to be only if it sits for a while.
should I check the water in the battery or is it just time for a new one?
thanks
bryan

Clean the battery posts, check/add water to battery, check your cables.
Does this happen all the time or does it come and go?
When my battery went, it wouldn't start my truck even if I just turned it off.
