Battery problem or starter problem

[martin63092]

Yesterday i went to start the phazer, it maybe hit -15 c that night, the next morning the phazer had a hard time to start, she started but as soon as i let the starter to stop turning she died, she did this about 5 to 8 times befor she finnaly started, it didnt seem like the battery was geting lower on power before she started tho, she keept turning at same speed, what could this be!?!??!

Read my thread - "First Ride-Huge Dissapointment"

Mine did the same thing when it "almost" started. Not to say plugs are to blame but worth a look!

Good luck

just chaged the plugs this summer, but she did start tho, and the plugs dont even have 3hours on them yet.

Do you have the cold start update?

When the engine is fully warmed up what is your idle speed?

 

[martin63092]

i dont know if i have the cold start update, i buyed this used, the owner told me he got every recall made. The idle speed when its warm its around 1700 rpm. My sled is an 08 btw

Check this thread and look for my post with the bulletin, explaining how to tell if it was done according to the number on the ECM:

i had something similar happen last season,it would start fine but as soon as i let go of the key,it would die,turned out it was loose battery connections

Huh????

 

[marpolsdofer]

Every time there is a post that say "battery" in there. Thats when you seem to post on Phazer Genral. This was be a joke, o well

Oh, ok. I just have a lot of knowledge about batteries even though I didn't talk about them in this thread. Just happened to also have knowledge about the cold start update. I like a good joke. I guess I didn't get this one...
