    I want to thank everyone for their responses. After getting it out of the car the battery of less than 2 years was bummed out. It looks to have an internal short somewhere. Now is the time to see how good guarantees are.

    Bad manifold gaskets

    I had the same problem. I used Snyder's copper manfold gasket A9433-C with Permatex Ultra Copper Silicone sealant. No problems since. BTW make sure with a steel straight edge you have no warping on the manifold or the block.
