I have a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero with 77,000 miles and is equipped with a six cylinder engine. Every time I start it, it turns over slowly, and sometimes acts as it is not going to start and my digital clock on the radio resets to 12:00. Does anyone out there have an idea what could be causing this problem? Thanks

Is there corrosion on the battery terminals (Whitish green powder)? If so, clean them with baking soda and hook back up. If this was done take the battery to be tested at an auto parts store. Overall, it sounds like a low battery issue.
