While you were there and found a car like yours and had a pocket full of wrenches, even though you were there just for a generator, might as well pluck off that carburetor, distributor cap, coil, voltage regulator and fuel pump, to have on hand for spare parts. humfrz |

I wonder if this issue appeared more prevalent in BRZs because the BRZ limited has the push start, and the early FRS didn’t have that option. I had this exact issue in my FRS but only after I installed the easygo kit, particularly when it was too hot outside. Once I replaced the battery the problem went away. If I used the key start the problem didn’t happen. So maybe push start buttons require more amps to crank than a key or something? Any idea if the BRZ models you refer to were limiteds? |

So update guys... for some more complex diagnostic.
So it is a day and a half after the video was shot. Saturday 12:30PM and before I go put another battery in, I tried to start it again. Car did not move at all, opened the door, got in, clutch, push button. 0 problems, 0 hiccups. Battery didn't even struggle to start the car. Everything was normal. My thoughts: Battery charge LEVEL is probably fine. The slow drain (if it even exists) probably not the reason now. Variables 1: It is much warmer at noon than that night, battery may have more power? Or simply as everyone says, connections? However since I am so noob at this, would a loose connection behave like this? That everything works but somehow when a strong current runs though it suddenly cuts? |

Think about how old flashlights with those D cells will dim before they actually die, and how we always shake them to get more life out of the cells. Exact same principle.

All I had to do was help him move some heavy things he couldn't move by himself and then sit down under the maple trees in his front yard, have a glass of iced tea and listen to his stories. I learned that the longer I sat and listened to his stories, the more likely it was that he would say ...... ah, just take that stuff ...... humfrz |

I've had this issue in the past, where the car won't crank one minute and the next it will. One time was a bad connection at the solenoid and a couple other times the solenoid was on the way out.
It's my understanding that once the solenoid goes bad or starts to go bad, it will or can try to draw twice the cranking amps as it normally would, making it seem like a weak battery. |
