I tried to charge the battery in the car yesterday. Had the charger on for 45 minutes. The battery was hot to the touch. I have an expensive battery tester which I used to check it with. The tester kept reading only 15% charged and to recharge the battery. I read a thread in the TBU (yep I do go there from time to time) about low battery charge can cause problems with the car running. If the volts are down on the battery will the ignition system not fire as it was intended? I already bought and installed a new battery and hope that the old battery was the problem. When pressuring up the intake to look for vacuum leaks I only found the bypass shaft leaking. It has been that way for a long time so I dont beleive it was a big problem. I am assuming a new battery might be the cure.
