[QUOTE="akheathen, post: 7613260, member: 629234"] well, first, you shouldn't be touching the gas to get it started. that engine does need 10.5v to run the injectors. first thing i would do is have your existing battery load tested, and check your battery terminals. if the battery and connections are good, then look at your fuel system. likely you are also experiencing low power at higher rpm's, which it should be snapping a hard smooth pull from 3k-5700, or wherever it shifts, @ wot. or, experiencing a rough idle. if not, then it could just be the weak cranking voltage. i know you don't need another battery, so i would just upgrade the stock battery, like option1. i run an x2 power under the hood with the stock 165a delphi alternator and it will handle every bit of the 110-125a draw of the amp, plus stock electrical all day long not going under 13.5v. being @ 165k mi., i would expect your fuel pump to be giving up and the injectors in need of a cleaning, if neither has been done yet.
