2002 vette starting problem
I bought a used 2002 vette with only 11k miles on it from a chevy dealer. It is a 1 owner car with a clean carfax. I am the proud 2nd owner. Yesterday while my wife ran into Dunkin Donuts, I stayed in the car with the motor and ignition turned off while listening to the CD player. When she returned after not more then 10 minutes, the vette didn't start. There was no cranking, clicking, or sound of any kind. After about 2 minutes and 4 tries to start it, it started right up. I had no info sent to me on the CID. volts were normal. Can anyone enlighten me on what's going on before I leave it at the chevy dealer and they probably tell me that nothing is wrong.
Thank you,
Zepvette

Welcome and congrats on your Vette! . Kind of sounds like your battery might be getting ready to quit on you. I would suggest a load test at your favorite parts house.
