starting problems

So it got kinda cold around here lately, and i relize fc's dont really like to start when this happens but this is just plain weird. Just for the record this battery is brand new, i bought it about 3 months ago. But lately shes been flooding about every time i try and go to start her, so im assuming i have leaky injectors. And also when i got to start her i have no battery power, theres about 9 volts at most. So i did get my alternator tested and it is working just fine. So basically everyday i have to unflood my car, and or jump it...im taking the battery in tomorrow to get a load test, hopefully thats the prob. but any other suggestions would be extremely helpful. This is drving me crazy!!!!!

9V? You should probably have someone look at that. It should never be that low.

What does it run at when still hooked up to another car? You may have an accesory that isnt turning off.

There are so many things that can go bad electrically, try and find anything that could be draining the better, then look in the archive at articles about grounding, check all of your grounds.

Check the wiring at the alternator..Something isn't Right..you should have at least 12 volts.If the Alternator was replaced Recently,I would be asking to Exchange it.Many times the rebuilt alternators are the Culprit in the System...Other one would be a Crappy battery,followed by Unclean terminals,Connnections,Loose alternator belt,causing NO charge situation...hope some of that helps.

i really dont want to go spend the money on a new battery when this one is new, and it just started happening. If anything ill use my warranty. Are there any other things that would be making this happen?
