new battery solves hesitation??? why? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be steven on  Mon Oct 7 19:21 CST 2013 [RELATED]

I recently read the boards about many cars stumbling after start-up in the cooler, damper, fall weather that once up to normal operating temperature run fine.

I had the same issue and began trouble shooting. Considered the FPR, IAC, AMM, vacuum leaks etc.

Left the hood slightly open by accident over the weekend - it was cool and rained most of the weekend which led to a NO start with the battery dying after 5 attempts.

Decided to replace the battery - it was 5+ years old anyway, and it seems to run like a charm now. starts much better, no hesitation (yet), and even seems to idle better.

Can anyone explain why a new battery would have such an effect? The better start is obvious to me, but how will a new battery affect overall performance???

You also might want to try a new battery if you're trouble-shooting the same symptoms...
