Re: 2002 regal 3800 cranks a while before starting

I feel really stupid kind of. Just for the hell of it I pulled a plug to check it and it looked fine. I hooked up a fuel pressure guage at the fuel rail and the fuel pressure was good also. I went to a local mechanic to pick his brain and he wanted me to bring the car in for diagnostic. When I went back home I found I left the key on and the battery was totally dead. I was gone a half hour tops. It was a AC Delco battery and figured it was original. I went to Oreilly's to buy another battery. The car fires right up and the key comes out of the ignition every time also. About 2 months ago I had the battery checked and said it checked good. I also checked the alternator and it checked good also. So moral of the story, try another battery if you have similar trouble. Thanks guys for all the help, I learned alot from your reply's.
