it might, it might not. there's only one way to find out right ?

most likely you will not have to jump start it. but once you start driving, go easy.

I guess it depends if you have a lot of stereo and video stuff. Those tend to put a large draw on your battery if you have a stock type battery and stock alternator.

It's unlikely, though. In the winter I rarely drive my mustang and it starts right up after 1 month of not driving it. But I have a stock sound system in there.
