   Thanks but checked battery & it's fine for now. Lots of power to   
   start. You get used to the 'timing' of a start. And the sound of the   
   engine turning over at whatever rpm. Usually it starts right away,   
   like the first 3 seconds of turning the key (16 years).   
   But miss a day everything sounds the same but just keeps turning over   
   and over. I even stop & start again.   
   Guess it's off to the dealers.
