I think the starter is bad. My sons car was rolling over slowly for a few months then it wouldnt crank at all. The starter tested good at autozone but didnt have the power to crank the car.

Put your battery on a deep cycle overnight charge if you have a charger that can do this. If she just fires your car right up the next morning, I would bet your battery is in need of replacement pretty soon. Cold and hot weather wreck havoc on a battery.

Like Maniac I too have seen a battery still power lights and such, but not have enough reserve power to energize the starter and make it properly operate.

Imma do that tomorro, I took the starter to have it tested and it passed, they said it could be dirty connection cause the starter was filthy. I didn't clean the whole thing jus wiped off the connections on the starter and put it back on then bam started right up. I will test the battery tomorro if that's good then I just don't know what to do after that. Will keep posted
