If you tested the battery and alternator then it could be your plugs, try cleaning them and see how that works for yaa.

It can also be a bad ground,at the auto part zone they sale a battery tester that u can use to test your batter on your car and see if something is draining it. The test is a small round meter that hooks up to your battery and reads out the amps, it's bout 30 bucks,I know that the battery and alt is good,but you can test it with the car off and see if something is draining the battery.

By plug I assume you ment his connections at the Battery and not his spark plugs.NizzmoS13 wrote:If you tested the battery and alternator then it could be your plugs, try cleaning them and see how that works for yaa.
If you have a volt meter check the voltage at the battery with the car at a high idle (1200 - 1500 RPM) and you should have atleast 13.5 volts. 14 volts is better. This voltage will drop as the batery charges.
If you have less voltage then check both end of your battery cables. Do not assume that both end are the same. One end can look ok and the other end be messed up. If you have a ne battery and the altinater tests good then it has to be wiring. You did check the altinator fuse didn't you?
Check these things and let us know what you find.
