time for an optima(yellow top)

 

I didnt know there was a cca rating for batteries, interesting. The only problem i have with the SC in the cold is the freezing leather.

 

Last winter I started my Soarer in -30 celsius (-22 F) without problem and I didn't have additional motorheater back then. Though one day my radiator fluids frozed and I had to replace the old fluids to new that resist more cold.

The biggest problem were that the transmission oils got quite sticky in cold and
I had difficulties to start moving (automatic trans.).

If I remember right my battery was 900 cca.

 

mine starts up fine just sometimes takes like 3 seconds to turn on .... when its been sitting outside for 3 days without a start ...

 

What? The SC was designed in California for California? Ok... now I have heard it all.

 

^^ seriously.....im sure Lexus revolved only around California..

 

I seriously hate my sc400 right now...... i buy coilovers than i have starting problems? does noone know they real answer to why our car suck in the cold? (the select few) im getting a .4 resistance reading on a ground in the fuse box will that effect the CCA that much to where my POS wont start? I HAVE TO GET TO SCHOOL, I GOT A JOB INTERVIEW THAT TAKES ME GOING TO SCHOOL TO EvEN GET!!!!!!!!!!!! this job is a make or beak for the rest of my life. electronics technican for a military base!

 

get a beefier battery...like a autozone gold class. or find someone to give u ride.

 

My SC loves the cold. Pulls hard

 

i have a OEM spec battery.... my car... its a piece of crap!

 

mines starts up fine, i have the red top optima battery. but the transmission feels rough especially around 10-20 mph until it warms up.

 

^lucky!!!!!!!!!

 

-30 and starts no problem. Clean all connections and grounds. Might help.

 

My car has 300,000+ miles and a somewhat new alternator, but it gets about 12-30 degrees out here in wa most of the time in the morning and she starts up fine. it may take her a few more seconds to start up, but never had a problem.

Probabaly battery.

 

Dude. If it's that big of a deal, make sure you have a backup just in case.
