Car has 270,000km. 3.6R. Voltage at 12.5V, battery 1 month old, terminals clean. No codes come up. Engine starts quickly, idle ranges from 750 to 2500 RPM for 10 seconds (+\- 5 seconds) bounces quickly, then stalls. Will start immediately after stalling but same thing happens with the RPM.

As in battery cell? Tested battery, charged overnight, let sit for 4 hrs, tests perfect for voltage and load, recharged overnight and tested voltage again, still perfect, has sat for 2 gmdays since last charge and still in the green with no discharge.

No check engine light while running, hooked it up to a code reader and no codes coming up while running or once stalled.
