Hesitant to start?

[boulder]

My car after sitting out for less then 12 hours is very hesitant to start. It acts like it is a dead battery but I know it can't be, I just replaced it. I also thought it could be a short on my amps or something but I unplugged those and it still is continuing to happen. Do you guys have any good ideas on what is going on? Thanks for any help.

Could it be my alternator possibly?

Possibly Main Relay.

main relay, battery, grounds, alternator i doubt but get it tested anyway never bad to check

the main relay deals with outside temperture and having to wait a minute or two before you car starts. sounds like his problem is starting from the jump.

So I had my car checked out and both the alternater and the battery are fine. So it seems to be an electrical problem. Any ideas on how to track it down?

my ideas

check the alternator yourself by using a voltmeter on the battery should be 12v when sitting and 14v when on. I dont see how it could be that. Maybe you left something on or a wire got loose while driving. Your alternator would not kill the battery while sitting, but not charge while driving. As we all know I am sure. Anyways maybe a bad starter. I just moved my battery to the trunk and it is a lil hesitant. I need bigger gauge wire. Good luck bro, let us know what the deal is.
