Is my weak start up linked to my battery - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have this issue when the car gets hot, even with a new battery. Start monitoring you engine to see if it occurs around the same temp.

Pushing the 6th year mark this September using a stock battery here on a 2011. Only time I have a weak start up is if I'm constantly turning it on and off. For instance - morning start is fine, get gas 5 mins away, turns okay, go elsewhere within a certain time frame then the car will start to turn over very slow. One time it tried cranking and it didn't even start. My friend said it's the starter but for as long as I've had this car it's been the case as far as I remember. I have noticed some bad build up on the Positive Terminal a few times I've checked. Guess a new battery is what I need?

Hard starts were cured for me by replacing it with a new one from NAPA. Not cheap but fits and works as new now.
