So I went out today in the S2000.. Which I don't drive everyday anymore. I drove it about 30+ miles to go to the post office in the next couple cites over. When I was leaving the post office my s2000 sound like it was dead..

I ended up getting it to start after a couple seconds.. Then when I was driving back home rolling down a hill I decided to turn off the car and try it again. Trying to press the start it did the same thing again.. So I just let the clutch out to start it..

Besides trying to start it drove great.

After I got home I turned off the car and try it again. It did it again (Video Below) then after that time it started up like normal.

So in a couple more minutes here I'm going to try it again and see what happens.

What could it be?

 

---15mins since last try.

So I just tried again.. This time the car started but with a grinning notice.. Then I turned the car off and tried again start button didn't work at all.. (car was turned on all the way).

When back in to get the phone to make another video went out and started up normal...

 

so just tried last time for today

Everything seems normal right?

 

First thing I'd do is clean battery terminals and connections then tighten them down.

 

My Battery look really clean..

However it seems to be fine now..

I wonder if me not driving it much took so much charge out of the battery?

or something I noticed..

My aftermarket cd player faceplate was not connected all the way. I could tell because the picture kept going off. After I realized that I reset the faceplate and I left the car running for a little and haven't had a problem since. Screen on CD player stayed on and the car would start without any problems..

 

load test your battery. it might be weak...

 

load test the battery..i gurantee you it will fail.
