Question:
The car is a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville SE with a 3.8 V-6 engine. However, it started up with the help of a portable jump-starter the other day. I've measured the battery and it reads a little bit below 12 Volts. I'm beginning to suspect other areas than the battery. What should I do next?

The battery is weak. It has enough voltage to pull the solenoid switch in but not for very long and it drops out and pulls back in. That's the rattling you hear. Check the voltage when you try to start the thing or turn on the lights and check the voltage. Replace the battery.you may have a short in your ignition switch
Low battery. Have your amperage checked coming out of your alternator, it should be 14.5 or higher to keep the battery charged. If it is good it is the battery.
sounds like the fuel filter is clogged. Your fuel injectors may need to be cleaned. Very costly though. Bad gas will do it too.

Battery is near dead. You need to have the charging system checked. Battery is not getting charged or something is draining the battery when you think the car is shut off. Battery will read 12 volts even if it is drained down so that it could only light an interior light. It would be part of the charging system check.

Does any one know where i can find a 1994 isuzu rodeo transmission for a cheap or reasonable price?
Good Luck.
might be your connection try turning the possitive battery cable a lil. check the lights on your dashboard and see if they come on. if not get someone to watch them when you turn the battery turmanal and tighten it up when they do come on. I have a honda that did the same thing and I thought the altanater was bad but turn out the guy came over turn the cable to where the lights came back on and tighten it and I haven't had a problem since.
