In the last week I have had to call AAA twice because my car wouldn't start. Both nights the temperatures were below freezing. The battery and starter system come up fine. After jumping my battery the car runs fine.
First, make double sure that there is nothing left on that would drain your battery. Secondly, if you have ANY doubts about the integrity of your battery (even if it tests out O.K. at your local parts store), replace it.. Myself, if my vehicle ever fails to start correctly , I get a new battery. In the long run, poor batteries are the most expensive batteries you can have. Batteries can also have an intermittent internal problem that cannot always be detected by testing. My opinion, in a nut shell is that you need to replace your battery.

Something is shorted and it could be very difficult to find sometimes. It could be something as simple as a button being pressed when it shouldn't turning on a light or feature that runs all the time, but in a 2001 that is unlikely as it should turn off all lights after a certain period of time. It could be something in the radio. What I suggest is to pull one fuse at a time for accessories, check your manual for what each fuse powers. If the battery still drains with that fuse out then put it back in a pull another. When you find the fuse that allows your battery to keep it's charge then you will have a much smaller field of offending components.
For example, if you pull the fuse that powers the radio and heater, and the battery keeps it's charge then you know it is either the heater or radio causing your problem.
This can take a few weeks to do completly but won't cost you a penny to do.

sounds like a fuel problem u need u check to make sure u getting fuel to your injectors but known how earlyfuel injectors are i would say theyre ur culprit here

Well last night I went under the hood, opened the fuse panel and removed the "Memory"/Audio fuse, in my car it was yellow and only pulled up, not out, it was a "20". I left it out for a few min, pushed the fuse back in and everything is fine now, just have to reset my clock.
Hope this helps all!

Probably when the dealer is testing it is fine because the problem is intermittent. There may be a dead spot in the starter so when it hits that spot it acts up but other times its not on that spot its fine. Replace your starter and you will probably get rid of the problem.

Definitely start unhooking you negative terminal at night, so you don't prematurely ruin the battery from all this discharging. If you don't have a clamp on current meter, which would be easiest to use to find the draw, you can place a multimeter on the terminals of the battery, and look at the voltage. Start unplugging fuses, and when you see the voltage rise, you will know what circuit the draw is coming from.
