    Check for loose batt. connection.

    I know you say battery and connections are OK, But what your describing is the classic sign of a bad cell in the battery......What are the voltage reading of the battery after trying to start the engine not before....?

    Charge your battery. If it won't take a charge, it probably needs to be replaced. The warnings and faults you receive when the battery is low mean nothing. They are an artifact of the low voltage.
