Battery and Ignition Issues 2G TL-S
I have 2 issues with the car, although i'm not sure if they're related or not.
1st: Whenever I leave the car sitting for a week or longer, the battery is dead and I have to jump it in order to start it. If it's around 3 days or so, no issues at all.
2nd: On a cold start/30min-1hour in between starts, the car cranks up perfectly fine. But when I start/shut off the car when it's already hot a couple times within a short window (10 minutes), the car hesitates to crank but it does start eventually although it hesitates a little in the beginning.
If anyone has any clues or insights on the issues I'm having, please help me out. Thanks!

There is a TSB. It simply says to replace the ECM and FPR with all updated units... Around $1500+.
The work around is simply buy a use 2001 ECM (model specific... Nav/Type S or not) and a use Black Dot FPR... $100-$150. The ECM will need to be program by a dealership to match your keys... $200+.
2001 - later years
Probably a low fuel pressure problem. Leaking injectors, defective FPR. I would start by changing the FPR or at least make sure it's a Black Dot FPR.

regarding #1 , you must have something draining your battery. If the battery is known to be good then a parasitic draw test would be in order . Google Eric the car guy parasitic draw, he's got a good video on how it's done.
#2. I'm a confused with what you mean by crank. Do you mean the starter is not turning the engine or that the engine will not fire/start?
