99' Camry trouble starting up

Asked by Bonni May 29, 2017 at 03:50 PM about the 1999 Toyota Camry LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

After my car has been idle for 24+ ish hours it has a hard time starting up. I
noticed that it is even worse if the radio is on and I turn on my head lights
before I start the car.
There is no issue when I am driving my car to work every day. Just
happens when I go on a trip or if I don't drive much on the weekends. What
happens it I turn the key the car starts rev's a bit then dies. Now sometimes
if I start pumping the gas and get my car into Drive fast enough the car will
keep running and I will be good. But this morning I just could not get it to
stay running. So I had my husband give me a jump and then I was good to
go.

Is this just a bad battery issue? I had my battery replace by AAA back in
Nov of 2015. Can they go out that quickly?

The battery may be weak from someone leaving the door open (not fully closed). Also if u live in California I see that the acid//water dehydrates quickly in that area. I would go to Sears and have them do a battery check for free. If the car is in the back seat (some vehicles) they will charge u $29. Worst case is ur battery does not have the original CCA's (Cold cranking amps)

So u can place it on a trickle charge at home......or get a quick charge at AutoZone or at a Sears Automotive location
