Well... to start off i got a problem...lol. I have a 2000 Disc II

It all started with my car dying, and seeing as how my battery was three years old i immediatly exchanged it for a new one because it was still under warranty. As soon as i installed it i noticed it cranked a little longer to actually start the car. I didn't think much of it because i figured the alternator was just decharged. The next day i went to work at 7:00am and aroun 9:00 i went to get something to eat and the car would just crank and crank like it wanted to start but it just wouldn't. Here's the weird thing... when i got off at 4pm it started fine and i drove 45min. through traffic with no problems. The wierd thing is that is doesn't over heat but it acts like it doesnt want to star when i drive it for awhile... PLEASE HELP.. ANY ADVICE ?

If it's cranking then it's not the battery.

Possible injector O Rings. When it fires does it....oh hang on......You've all got V8s over there don't you? :sly::p

When it does finally start does it start quickly or does it cough into life?
