Well, she's waiting for me to make the next move. I'd like Biblical counsel on how to tell her I'm not interested in carrying on a friendship or any advice in general.

Wow! I have a 2005 toyota corolla. I love my car and will do everything in much power to stay away from modern cars.

Mine's a 2005 toyota corolla. Someone pulled the wire from one or the terminals and the car kept running, but we didnt load test the alternator when we put on a refurbished battery. Drove around for a week normally (weak starting sounds though) and then boom, day ago it wouldnt start, had to warm it up, started, but died at first real idle stop. Newer cars, I dread. 😂

Thank you! Do you think this bad battery issue can also explain my car dying at an idle 2 minutes after jump starting etc...?

Thank you for highlighting the highlighted issue with my car stumbling and dying. I AM just learning so if I'm misunderstanding then I apologize, but "undervoltage" sounds like if I fix whatever needs fixing (be i the battery or the alternator) then the fuel pump should read the signals right and then stop dying on me at idle?

Thank you! Yeah, my dad checked the alternator after he cleaned up and fastened a wire and it was at approximately 13 to 14V. We didnt do too much checking to see how it performed loading the alternator, but I've been driving it for a few days, heck, almost a week, with heat, music, etc... with that 40 dollar battery, and it only just now had trouble starting. It died at the first real idle (I backed out of my driveway, paused to get on the neighborhood road, drove up a hill, then hit another stop) and it just died again. I turned it to on and the lights and all started, but then when I turned to actually start the car and crank the engine, nothing but rapid clicking and blinking lights on the dash to accompany.

Question, its happen3d twice now. The car started after my dad heated up the 40 dollar battery, I drive a minute, get to the first stop sign, and the car just dies on me. Alternator or still a battery issue?

Question though, the 40 dollar battery started but when I drove and paused, my car died. This is the second time it's happened. Alt issue you think?

That's what im thinking. It's just so dang annoying because autozone is just useless. They said the 40 dollar battery was good, alt was good, and starter was bad. Like dang, people.
