2000 camry, first noticed that the clock was wrong and radio stations weren't programed when I started the car, then car died all of the sudden while driving, again the clock and radio were deprogramed. Car re-started up just fine.This morning I turned the ignition and nothing happened completly dead. I move the key back to off the postion and then cranked it again and the car started right up. please help, I am taking finals and would hate to be stranded and not make a test.

 

Check and clean your battery terminal connections. This usualy cures the problem you described. If that does not solve it, go to Auto Zone, Advance Auto or such and have the electircal system and battery checked.

 

What flyer said- I had the exact same problem, and it turns out that the battery leads tend to corrode rather easily. I replaced my ground cable, which was cake, and voila! Starts like a champ every time.
