when I try to start it cold 1 out of 10 times it makes a heavy sound and the
starter motor will stop so that I have to take my finger off the button and push starter again. after this happens the computer will reset time and trip odometer. any suggestions on what might cause this.

 

Sounds like a low battery or bad ground.

 

Good answer ^^^^

I agree

 

yeah sounds like bad battery to me

 

Yup weak battery

 

Just replaced my 09 battery last weekend. Would not hold a charge. O'riellys had a AGM replacement for $59.99. I had the same symptoms you describe.
