Hello! I have 00 3.9l v-8 and sometimes when i try to start my car it won't start. Usually it will turn and turn and then it sounds like its about to start where it catches and car doesn't start and then the alarm goes off!!
Other times car starts no problem at all. I can't figure this out and it is ticking me off. Today after work it wouldn't start at all and the alarm would keep going off. I would keep trying and still no start and now and before it begins to click also while trying to start. I asked coworker to give me a jump start and low and behold the car started no problem at all.
So this leaves me to the question could it be the battery or the computer chip in the key or an ignition or starter issue? I know these cars are very sensitive to battery issues and can wreak havoc on electrical system if they are about to dei or are drained in the least bit. they only like fully charged or brand new batteries. But if it is the battery then why the hell can i still start it at times.
Btw the car has been doing this for months but today was the last draw because it wouldn't start period! Please help!!!!! Thanks for any and all help or replies.
Ps-if it is battery where can i find a battery for it....everywhere around here doesn't carry one for the ls(advance auto,autozone etc etc).
