Car will not start without a jump?
Car will not start without a jump? So my car recently developed a starting problem. I checked the battery and it had a dead cell so I swapped it out under warranty. After new battery the car started fine and I drove it to the gas station(about 1 mile away). When I got back in the car to leave the damn thing wouldn't start again. After letting it sit for awhile the car would start barely. I am beginning to notice that when the vehicle is hot is when I have the problem. Just for ***** and giggles I had the alternator tested and it came out fine. I am beginning to wonder if the problem is my starter? Has anyone had any problems like this? The starter engages but it cranks the car very slowly if even at all when the engine is warm/hot. Thing that is weird is that if I have it jumped it will start right up. When the vehicle is running the battery reads 13.1-5ish at the gauge cluster.

I would remove the starter. Check for loose connections or have the starter tested. I had similiar problems with my car not starting ...turned out to be loose connections at the starter. Wierd that the connections come loose..... time is the enemy of anything that is good...remember that!!
