Yesterday, the camry wouldnt crank, like the battery was dead. I jumped it off, and had the battery checked. Its good. Removed the starter, had it checked out. Slightly low amperage, but not enough to be a problem. Anyone have any idea what it could be? It takes 2 batteries to get it cranked, and when driving you can feel a stall when hitting the brakes, turning on the a/c, or the headlights.

I need some help here. Lol

Check alternator output using a DVOM connected to battery with engine running, output should be 13.5-14.0V.

If OK, I would clean the battery connections and terminals, also make sure the starter mounting area is clean, as starter grounds to block.
