Yes it is like a low voltage situation and that is why ----

Last week the first thing I checked was the battery and it was withing spec. Then I checked the charging with engine running and (if I remember) it was 14.4.

It is also like there would be corrosion on the cables and that is why nothing is energized but the cables are bright and clean.

All the body ground points look in great shape. The entire engine bay is immaculate.

CEM? Computer Engine Management?

We have two keys and both act the same way.

Most of the time the issue never appears.

It is my wife's commute car and I'm trying to figure out if it is something in failure mode or just one of those odd things that we need to get accustomed to.
