Tonight I had a first time start problem. Just once. I pushed down on the brake pedal and hit the key and it just barely cranked like the battery was going. Lights dimmed, whole nine yards. I quit immediately, said "hmm", and tried again. It fired right up and no problems since. Now all day long, the "Antilock" light was staying on and the code was for the pass front sensor but braking was fine. Tonight after the strange start, the light is not on anymore. This "antilock" light thing has been an ongoing thing for a while but braking is fine, even the ABS works. Could I just have a short or bad connection in that sensor's wiring and would that affect the starting of the car? Before I do a large systems and wiring check, I would welcome any inputs as to what things to look at if anyone has had this wierd start thing before.

Thanks everyone.

Have a great weekend and St Patricks Day.
 
have a shop do:
an alternator output test
battery load test
starter draw test
an overall charging/starting system check should pick up any bad grounds etc
 
This problem could be your abs solenoid,it is located on the passenger side firewall.I had that happen it will kill ur battery very fast.
