Two months in the garage is apparantly not a good thing. It was cold (about 20F)but sunny here in central Pennsylvania and I though I would finally take her out for some air. I turned the key and after about 15 seconds it was clear that she was not going to start and the battery was low. I charged it for a while and after a struggle she started. I backed her out of the garage and let her idel for a bit in the driveway. After about a minute she abruptly shut off. I jumped back in and turned the key...after many turns the battery again gave up. Back on the charger...I finally got it started and took off. She ran but there was a little sputter under acceleration. I didn't think much of it and took her out on the interstate for a little run. More sputter...especially in the lower gears. After about a five mile trip I returned home. Shut her off and then tried to start her. 15 seconds...dead battery again! Charge and she started, though a bit reluctantly. Tried to drive her again and she stalled...couldn't start her again. Charge-start-back in garage. Now what????? I did not put fuel stabilizer in her when I parked her two months ago. Fuel pump? Fuel filter? Spark? Anyone have a similar problem who might be able to point me in the right direction??? I feel like an idiot for letting her sit so long!!! And sorry for the long post but I was hopeing someone has been through this and might have an idea! Thanks!
