Car batteries acting up?
A few days ago, out of the blue, my car started acting up and I have to pump the gas pedal before trying to start it..or I have to have it jumped. Now today my neighbor's car is acting up. She has a new battery and had to have it jumped. Anybody else out there with similar problems?

My dad's truck battery has been acting up, actually his whole electrical and then recently my car's battery starting getting faulty. Mind you both cars were recently taken in to the shop before these issues arose. . . so what is it?

I have no clue what it is. The last time my vehicle has been in the shop was to get new tires on it, and that was the beginning of September. I found these incidents strange and wondered if anybody else had similar problems...or maybe knew what the problem was.

Well the strange thing is my Dad's truck just got a brand new battery put into it and it started acting up. His truck is a Toyota Tacoma and my car is a Lincoln Continental.

This is the only place I have purchased my tires from in the past 4 years. It's a small town shop that my family trusts and I've never had problems with them before. :(

Mazda 3 - barely started yesterday morning for work. Same went for today, although it started a little better than yesterday. Also, when I start it, the gauges jump around wildly - tachometer, oil pressure, etc.

sounds like a ground issue. check that theyre tight and not corroded.

ops issue sounds like a carb issue if the pedal needs to be pumped to start it. if it is efi then the pedal pumping is unrelated as its all computer controlled. test the battery. 12.6v is 100%

lead acid battery's charged resting voltage is abt 12.8V dc
12.6 is a tad bit low but it depends on the brand

The problem IS the tires...'smart tires' are talking to the computer in your car! look into it, if you don't believe me!

Also, Onstar is always listening/tracking your vehicle and it CAN'T be disconnected or turned off. It is hardwired into your ignition computer. Cut the wire...car won't start!

It's low voltage...the injectors and coils can't fire properly on low voltage...could be a corroded connection, weak battery or faulty alternator...

Re: Car batteries acting up?
well this is weird. on way home tonight, approaching a big roundabout, at the junction, a car was broken down, and was being jump started by another vehicle. so it was obviously going when it got to the junction, then completely died.

hmmm

not something you see normally. vehicles only normally need to be jump started when they're cold.

Mine too! A few days ago, but I thought the starter was going out and complained to my brother about it. Then a couple days later it was fine. I have an older jeep liberty also.
