Car Died I need help
Here's the story Started the car Sunday morning (like -20) started easily. Sunday night car wouldn't start low gas so I put alittle Anti-freeze (for gas) in the tank, Jump the battery and put some starter fulid in the air way, and it starts. Get home car temp start to rise fast and I hear a pinging noise (I think it was from putting too much starter fuild) so I shut it off before it overheats. Check the oil (notice it was low) check upper and lower rad. hose me make sure that T.stat wasn't stuck (1 month old). 2 mins. later I start the car again. Starts right up no problem temp immd. drops to normal op. temp engine idles fine rev it up a couple of times everything sounds good. Let it run for 3 mins. to see if temp would rise again, it didn't so I shut it off. Monday morning I try to start all I get is a click so I figure that the battery was dead so I proceed to jump the battery again, still get a click. Check the battery I'm getting alittle under 13 volts.
History on the car. I've had a bad battery for a while now, Starters new, fresh tune up, T stat and air filter. T-belt, waterpump and belts are all new. CEL comes on and goes off once every two weeks I have a vac leak somewhere nothing major.
Symtoms. Car wont even crank just clicks. I had the starter tested it's fine a little under 13 volts on the battery. What else could it be? I have owned many DSM and never had a problem until this car.
