   If you have to drag out a 2nd battery or need to jump start it.  Your CCA   
   must not be high enough to get it started?  When you crank it, will it turn   
   or will it just stop and notice the lights go dim?  Check your fluid levels   
   in the battery.  If you have a charger, hook it up on the OFF days, and see   
   if it will start the following day.   
      
   I had a problem with my last battery, it was less than 3 years old on a 72   
   month rating. It would not hold a charge, even if I left it on the charger   
   for a few days.  I was able to get a full refund, since it was still under   
   warranty.   
      
   I have an  86 PU (22R), and it will crank almost forever if I forget to pump   
   the gas. It's carbureted so I have to step on the gas pedal to engage the   
   choke.  Though I sometimes forget not to press the gas pedal on my 4Runner,   
   it happens.
