Jumped and ran like a champ...
Weird title I know. Here's the story.
My car hates winter and battery dies all the time because of it blah blah blah. I got a jumper thing and been using that. I went out yesterday and of course it was dead so I jumped it. The charger had very little juice so it took a minute to get the car running. That battery on the car wasn't completely dead like it's been lately, so I pretty happy.
I started going, and the car ran great. When I let off the gas, idle dropped to perfect right away. It was super smooth, and ran like a champ. I pulled up to a light right down the block and had to rev to keep th rpms from falling bad, and it still ended up dying at the light. I started up, pulled aside and let it idle.
Then I started going again and it ran perfectly for awhile, maybe a mile or 2, and then it went back to how it always run. Rpms take a long time to fall. Have to come to a complete stop before I can hit idle... the usual problems that I always have.
So my question is, what the crap happened? Why it run super great (except for the dying part) when the battery wasn't 100% charged and just jumped, and not have done like that all the times before. Does this make sense to anyone? It was nice having her act like a virgin all over again.
