My car needs a jump after a few hours of sitting. The battery is only 14 months old. The battery, starter, and alternator are all testing as "good". The only way to make sure my car will start if it will be sitting for a few hours is to take the battery wires off the battery. Is it the battery or is there something else? Could it be the wires?

My car has started not restarting after I have turned it off after driving it. What could be causing this?

My son has a 2003 Ford Escape with a V6 and sometimes for no reason at all it will lose all of the instrument gauges briefly while he is driving and then come back on in an instant with no loss of power. There have been times he called me because his car would turn over but not start, When I get there I've checked it with my OBD II reader and no codes would show up. Then after trying to start it several times with no luck, it just fires right back up for no apparent reason. The battery, alternator, are new and working fine. I've checked the cable connections and I'm still at a loss as to why this keeps doing this, I'ts been like this for over a year. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. 3 answers
