wow thxs for the replies. i will have to try the test you have mentioned ken300D. right now i am suspecting the battery. i think it is not keeping charge. today i had to jump start it in the morning. but then i started fine all day. i will have to see tomorrow.

sublettm: this is my second concern. i am having second thoughts on wether my charging system is working fine or not. i put a multimeter to the battery when the car was running it had around12.5 volts. and when i gave it gas it jumped to 13.3 volts, this was yesterday. so i thought that it was fine, but this morning i bought one of those cigarett plug in things that check your battery/charging system and according to that it says my charging system is running "low" i don't know wether to trust the multimeter or that thing, and boy i hope it is not the alternator. is there any other way to check if the alternator is working properly?

sounds like a lot of troubleshooting for me. but for now i just carry a charged battery around. thxs again for all the help
