[QUOTE="Jeremiad, post: 133440, member: 3108"] It sounds like an electrical issue to me. I think your plan to replace the battery is a logical first step, but I would also suggest replacing your battery wires while you are at it, including the ground side. Battery cables definitely corrode over the years, and they take a lot of abuse on those occassional starts. A bad ground cable doesn't flow like it should and causes resistance (bad flow), and noticeable heat. When your car is running badly, try grasping each battery cable and see how hot they are, but be careful, a bad ground cable can get hot enough to hurt. [/QUOTE]
