Car started pulling some bullshit a while ago where it took multiple tries to start or it would crank indefinitely. Recently it the engine would start and then cut off immediately but it would crank like usual. Never got any fault codes from any of this, not even a service light. Went to O'Reilly's to get the battery checked and they said the battery is fine. Started the car and it runs like brand new, no delay with the gas, really responsive, starts instantly on the first crank.
Two days later and its back to the bullshit it started with. I give it three days this time before it starts cutting off immediately after startup until i try to start the car several times again.
What the fuck did that battery check do and what the fuck is happening?

Your battery is probably marginally charged, when you drove it to o'reily's the alternator could have done a surface charge. I'm sure those lazy cucks didnt take the time to do a legitimate crank. Batteries can seem fine until you let them rest for a while. Get yourself a Volt-Ohm-Meter and check voltage after it sits for a night user.

Alternator's shitted. Rip.

what year is your car? when the battery test was performed did the take the battery out of the car? An oddball unexpected problem could be key security issue. At times my wife's absolutely horrible piece of shit jeep would kill ignition if it thought a non authorized key was used. Unhook battery for 5 mins or so, reconnect and it would be fine.

>2000 >no >only other issue with the key was that it sometimes wouldn't unlock the passenger and both rear doors. Also the distance is noticeably smaller so key issues are def on the table

Just to let you and all the people who've posted, I'm sure you're all fine people who just don't know anything about cars, if it's cranking, it's not the fucking battery or the alternator. You probably have an issue with the crank or cam sensor, or possibly the ignition module. Vatozone can test ignition modules, maybe O'Reilly's can too. Have the codes read too, the check engine bulb can burn out just like your head lights. If nothing there, you probably have to perform a few more drive cycles before it sets a code.

>the check engine bulb can burn out just like your head lights No I know the check engine light works because its set to turn on when you switch the keys in the "on" position.

I was just covering all the bases trying to help you. Did you read the rest of my post? You know I'm doing this for free, right? I usually get paid $28 an hour to diagnose some shithead 's car. Not saying you're a shithead, but you probably are.

chill out my guy im just saying that the check engine light works
