I've got a '01 Dodge w/ the 360. I don't drive it much, I last had it out there around the first of the year. It's at or below 0 here in IA today, and I thought I'd drive it to work. I knew the battery was a little weak, but it hadn't failed to start yet. I hit the key, and reerrr, reeerrrrr, click. Ok, no prob. Get out the charger, hook it up, let it cook for a while, same thing, but with a blub blub, the pickup fires a couple times but doesn't start and run. Let the charger work a while and do it again, with similar results. I've gotta leave soon, so I start the other ride, and keep fiddling with this one. No positive results, so I leave, I get about 4 miles down the road and then don't remember what I sat the charger on, back home. When I return the maintance free battery is leaking juice out of the caps. I take it out and set it on the floor and go to work. Now, I checked the voltage as it came of the charger, and it was 12.95V. I'll check it again tonight, but I'm probably going to buy a new battery anyway. But is there anything I can do to help it start once I get a new battery on it? Can you flood a TBI engine? Dad thought maybe if the battery wasn't supplying full voltage to the started and injector that the battery could solve the issue completely. I may get one of those magnetic engine heaters and try to warm the block up a little.
