Jumping/Hardstarting

As some of you may know my N/A is having some problems starting. IT will start after a while on its own juice. But whenever i jump it from my moms car it seems to start like it normally did!

Is this just my battery not having enough Cranking power? Or what else....

Thanks, evan!

Make sure your ground wires are all nice and clean, If not have your battery tested for proper amperage. When I say ground wires, I mean both ends of the black wire and the grounding strap.

If your car starts "normally" when you use jumpers, it's the battery power. As above posts, make sure battery is of adequate size and good condition. If battery marginal, go for a large capacity one. It may cost a little more, but it's worth it. You can have system tested @ auto stores for no cost. Need to make sure alternator is supplying correct power to the battery. Make sure alternator belt is tight.
