I did do that and it was a catalytic converter code

what about the alternator? I believe when I was married the spark plugs were changed about a yr ago or so. mileage is 130000 now. and its 4cyl

I have been told the following things by mechanics but no one actually looked at the car. I've had so many no show mechanics its ridiculous. The guy who put the battery in was supposed to come by yesterday never did and isn't responding now. He did it so fast Im not sure if he cleaned anything. The hard start is plenty of engine crank just not turning over. Then the next day it starts up.

I have a 2014 Dodge Journey SE. I bought a brand new battery 2 most ago. I have now been dealing with my car starting every other day. It does have a hard start but always runs fine. I have been told so many things from alternator, a bad battery (although its new) , something to do with electrical or the computer, and something to do with the fuel pump. I took it to auto zone was told that the voltage fluctuated could be the battery or the alternator. However since the battery is under the car I have to pay someone else to take it off so it can be tested. Any suggestions?
