Your Carerra is like mine, left alone for a week, it will drain the battery ( an Optima). I leave mine on a battery minder to keep it topped off when not in use. As to your no start, It could be several things, mine turned out to be the DME (Motronic). The transistor for the final stage driver for the coil died.. There is a guy here in South Florida that repairs Motronics for $250 and will do a bench test for $50-$75. Does good work. Very happy, 24 hour turn around on mine, but he was an 45 min. drive for me. If you are here in So. Fla. let me know, we can find out real quick if it is your DME. I am in WPB.
