This happened after I replaced the battery with a new interstate battery h6 (which is suppose to be a direct replacement) When I got the new battery, I put it on a battery tender and trickle charged it for about 3 hours before installing.
Also, just to add. The car would crank for over 5 seconds and not start. Gave it a few seconds rest, tried again, and it fired up after two cranks.
