Yes, never assume anything is good, especially not a battery. It is always the thing which you assumed could not be bad that turns out to be the cuprit item.

Also, before you start the car check the radiator to make sure it is at least filled, then, after it heats up see where the expansion tank level is. Don't assume there is coolant in the radiator either.

Remember, when you assume you make an "ass" out of "u" and "me"
