[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=96699]Sounds like you need a battery. You might want to test it. You ALWAYS start at the battery when dealing with an electrical issue.

We will test that tonight, he has two other cars so I am guessing if we switch out a battery and it runs as normal that should also be a sign its the bettery? Its only two years old, so I didnt even think. But I guess its always something simple and overlooked.

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=96657]Don’t forget to also check the battery. If the battery is bad, the charging system will not be able to keep up. Static voltage on a charged battery should be 12.6 or above. The electrical system of the vehicle starts and ends with the battery. More info here.

When the battery was last hooked to a wall charger we did get enough charge to get the car started and take it for a drive. when we got back from the drive and tried turning on the lights and all the fun gizmos in the car thats when the battery died. It started up and went to 11.9v and held that for a while then eventually died out. Would the battery still charge on a wall charger if it was no good?

I didnt even think about looking under the dash. I will take a look at this as soon as I get off work. This has been one heck of a journey all started with trying to get my friends car to pass emissions. Once I get this charging system issue taken care of we still have to find out why it keeps misfiring with all new plugs, cables and coils.

I checked all the fuses, they all seem good. The “Battery” light icon does come on. Eventually the battery will just drain out completely. I am so confused where to look to even find the source. I have to fix this before I can even get back to the first problem with was the P0300 issue. Where can I find this resistor?

Its an automatic 4speed, with a 4cyl 2.4 engine. What happens is if youre picking up speed say going up to highway speed, it shifts 1-2……………3, then HIGH rev to the redline to get to 4th and then a stutter and CEL flickers but stays off and I plug in the reader P0300 multiple misfire. But if I disconnect the MAF and I get no misfire at all and better idle.

ETC, you are awesome! It started right up, car sounds great. Never messed with timing before so I was a bit clueless but did tons of research so I’m glad it was flooded and not me messing up lol.
Thank you!

Ok, I will try that tonight when I go back over there to work on the car. It started off with a completely unrelated sensor, that resulted in changing of spark plugs and cables and then down to the inner timing belt. So just holding the pedal to the floor while cranking should do the trick? I was afraid it was the fuel pump, all the fuses and relays were good.
