So I got my car from the container a couple days ago (I'm in the UK now, I was in the US, I had the Celica shipped by container with my goods) and tonight it just dies...again. I drove it fine back from the depot, about 30-40 drive, then I drove it to work yesterday and back, and it sat for about 12 hours then, and it drove fine on the way home, about another 15-20 minutes. So I go to start it up tonight and it lights up for a second, not even turning over, and dies. I've had such bad luck with this car and it starting. The alternator is new, it was dead, and I got a new battery just because it was forever ago since I had. But all that was in the states before I left. So, what could be doing this? Any suggestions? I'm totally at a loss. All I can think of is when my portable charger gets here, but that's on Tuesday. I'm thinking maybe the battery could be out of juice because they disconnected it for the transport. I could really use some help guys & girls.
