    Oil and battery light flash on start up.

    It that normal for red oil light and battery light to flash irregularly when cranking to start? I too have the staul prob when coming to a stop sometimes. I still need to clean maf and a few other things. Just curious if all our cars did this. Thanks.

    Measure the overnight battery voltage, and also after the engine is running at 1000 RPM. Report back.

    I'll have to get a volt metter. I have one at my shop. I just bought a new batter a few weeks ago and alt tested good. Turns out my old battery wasn't even bad, autozone tested it wrong.
