My guess is that they will tell you it's the battery. it might be at low to mid 12s voltage but not have any cranking amps to start the car. Not sure how much diagnostics and repair are you do on your own but putting a multimeter on the battery and watching the voltage while you are cranking it is an easy way to test it. The voltage should stay around 10 to 12V or higher when cranking. If it drops down lower it's almost guaranteed a bad batterybeachbum718 wrote:Well my battery is draining from somewhere.thought it was my air management. But it's not.unplugged my air management.

You can also have a local auto parts store test the battery for you (usually free), which might save you a bunch of time and money vs. the dealership.
Glad to hear its sorted out. It's no fun not trusting your car to start every time.beachbum718 wrote:You were right.bad cell in battery. Dealership tested battery.ecm is updated already.no drain from system.found dead cell.bought a red top optima from advance auto with coupon code for 184.00
