rpmdiag :

Thanks for your question. Sorry you're having car problems. If I go off line, just leave a message and I'll be right back. DO NOT leave feedback yet. You need to double check that battery, it sounds like that's where the problem is if it takes a jump start and runs. Make sure that there is no corrosion on the battery cables too. Thanks, Ron
