I have heard from a mechanic that the CPS would only make ignition click?

good idea...the pic shows that your alternator is working and the system appears to be charging...doesn't mean your battery can hold cranking amps

When it's in "ON" position, it's on 12 not 14. Then when I crank it, it goes all the way down to 10...

So it turned out to be my battery, I was stuck again and then somebody jump start my car. The battery was on 13 when it was being jumped and I cranked it, it only went down to 12 instead of all the way to 10....

I am experiencing this issue. Cold start - no problem, hot start - sometimes will not start on first try. Will start on second attempt. But, This weekend, started hot or cold every time. Battery is from 11/12. Going to charge it tonight. Connections look good.

Charged battery. Took a long ride. Stopped and started hot 3-4 times. No problems - full crank start each time. Will get battery tested when I have a chance.
