yours sounds like mine just weeks before it finally went out. its crazy that once it fires up ok it drives normal. mine did the same thing. go figure.

Many auto parts stores will test your battery under load, often for free.

I'd tell them to test it with a new battery in it and then go from there. Now on my Pontiac solstice, I had these exact issues. I took it to 3 different shops and no one could figure it out. Then one day, it just started up fine and had no issues. I'll bet it WAS the fuel pump. When I tried to start it, it sounded like an old juloppy trying to turn over. Chug Chug Chug Chug. No one ever figured it out. Amazing and they too told me to install a new battery; which I did, but we have no way of knowing if that was it......cause I sold it and bought the Z.

Well, I'm just going to swap the battery... And fortunately because I'm a bastard... And because I drive around with a GoPro 24/7 now... I have ANOTHER video of my car not starting that I didn't show them...

Sooooooo... I'm going to call corporate tomorrow, see what they say, then after I get my new battery, miraculously, my car won't start again! YAY!!!
Goddamn dealershit probably didn't fix ANY of the problems on my car... It sucks because the guy has been really good to me... But I guess they just got lazy...
