Socks Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Right few different issues here...Ticking Over high could be a simple idle adjustment.If something is draining the battery, it could be somthing aftermarket hasnt been wired in properly or somthing has failed...Has it just started doing it ou the blue? Slowly got worse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-V-Gazzz Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Dont really knw this is the second time in a week but only had the car 2 weeks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattyD Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) So you wouldn't know if the battery kept being run flat from the previous owner? I used to have a sub in my starlet ages ago and I kept leaving the stereo on without the engine running which in turn drained the bettery to the point it would keep no charge, even ran out on me when driving through town and my car just cut out.....

5T4R7ET N/A Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 the chances are that the battery is knackered,once they have been flat too many times they wont hold charge properly again. with winter kicking in I would just invest in a new one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mech5107 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 If you got a multimeter, then it's a good idea to check for parasitic draws... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletMad Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 As above leave meter on battery and go back every 30 mins and take a reading. Current drain is a bastard to fix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-V-Gazzz Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 i know the alternator isnt charging as its 12.1 non started 12.2 started(surposed to be 13.9) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Just get it tested at Kwik Fit, I did mine a few days ago and it's my battery which is only holding 25% of its starting capacity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
