Hey guys,
Battery died today - dad left headlights on :/ when I jumped the car my CEL came on. Furthermore, I had limp home enabled when I took it for a spin. Restarted car and it exited limp and now trying to determine if I can perform some manual checks before sending off to the mechanic.

it would have been Crank angle sensor

I have it happen early morning when the car is hard to start. If it is cleared now no need to go to a dealer.

Happens when battery is low or hard to start

best battery is 660CA min my ATM is 460CCA hence why I get it

Makes sense. I was scratching my head when it came on. I'll let it charge over next few days to see if it clears.

Where's the best place to get a quality 660CA batt. that's not too pricey?

eBay had some good prices on batteries but the Audio guys might be better to ask
