Easiest method is to have the battery tested, but make certain the cables are clean and tight. Turn the headlights/interiors lights on then try and start the car. If the lights dim considerably the battery is usually weak/low, but if the lights remain bright and the starter clicks, I would then say it's the starter. If you have a MM you can also check the battery voltage, after shutting the car down and just before the next start to be certain that there is not a drain on the sytem when the car is off.

I brought my 06 Tl to the acura dealership, did the draw test, tesed the Free Link Unit and the alternator, and said i need further testing and told me to come back and rechedule, WFT??? they charged me $47.50 and couldnt find anything wrong, what can be the problem. But they gave me a car wash, I just spent $50 on a car wash if you thought about it. can any1 let me, what ekse can be the problem. thanks
