my car just started this today. when i start my car in the morn, it takes a little effort....then if i start the car later when its cold and been driven barley like 1 minute....id start it, but then it shuts off...
if i start again its fine everytime ..later if i let it sit and not drive it, it will shut down again..
then the battery light comes on...
any ideas?

the book says:
loose or faulty electrical connections at dist coil or alternator
insufficient fuel reaching the fuel injectors
vacuum leak at the gasket between intake manifold and throttle body.
---
my battery is fine...it seems...it is only 3 years old on the die hard...but even though the battery may be low...it would be able to tell becuase it would stress starting, my car starts but then shuts down...
i tested the voltage, its at 12.5 and 13.8 when it starts...the drain goes down to about 10.5 when it starts then up to 13.8.
thanks fellas
