Has anyone had any trouble with there's not starting? Example, it will crank for two sec then die? This has happened so many times...

When you tested it how many volts did it have, if it dropped a cell it might show charge but not enough to crank

Yes. Could be either faulty battery, weak battery or dead starter motor. Try all those first.

Testing it, should have no less than 9V on start up.... minimal high 8's with weak and long crank. Optimal around 10-11V.

Then test each individual cell for a charge - 2V+ in each should be (6 cells).

Then check the starter motor for charge.

Failing all this, check for leads and anything that could be out of the ordinary. If everything fails, call your mechanic :P

Hope that helps.
