Will start with jump no problem. Sometimes immediate sometimes takes a few minutes - up to 10 but starts to make noise right away. Depends on how long it hasn't run (no more than 2 days though). We have several cars to alternate driving. Battery is brand new. (And old one wasn't really bad) My thoughts are alternator and starter. I don't think it's ignition switch. Are these valid? Could it be a lose connection somewhere? Is it a deep repair or one I can do? I'm just 4'11" and 115lbs. I've replaced an alternator on Subaru Impreza myself. Change my own Filters, battery,oil, fluids, etc. and switch out winter/summer tires on all cars. I haven't attempted bigger repairs myself but I'm not afraid to try if it saves money. I know I can rent the tools if I don't have them and the guys at Napa help me.

Also when I changed battery my key became "un-dunked/deprogrammed" How can I fix this so keyless entry works again.

Thanks!!
