Well i was coming outta school and my car wouldnt start.Itw ould just turn over slow.Finall my friend got it cranked and it ran fine.It did this one other time before but i came back the next morning and it cranked right up.Well i went to a friends house last night and now im driving my moms saturn
My car is still at his house.Any ideas what it could be?Its not the starter cuz its at least turning over.I dont THINK its the battery cuz my interior lights came on and my cd player did too but when i tried to start it the interior lights would dim each time it turned over.Once i get it cranked it runs fine.Maybe the alternator?
Thanks Alot!

If it's running fine after you get it started then your alternator is probably fine. Put a meter on it though to be sure. You should be getting 13+ volts. I'd double chek the condition of your cables and load test your battery.

Have you checked your coil?

 

Most part stores have a battery test station and will do it for you for free. Theres also a portable tester that any good garage will have too.
