Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;) Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16 |
Finally got my air filters..Freak'n two weeks due to a mix up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
I drove the SIX around for about 20 mins and pulled in to a gas station for a fill up (1st one in a year). Went to leave and it cranked VERY slow and wouldn't start. So I sat there for a about 5 mins and tried to start it again. It cranked alittle faster, just enough to start. Drove home with no issues I get home and check the voltage at the battery 13.4v (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Nice. I shut the car off and tried to start it again...it cranked VERY slow. I came back outside after about 30mins and it cranked like a son-of-bitch and fired right up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) The battery is new..last year. The alt light is only on when I first start the car. Once I rev it above 1500rpm's it goes out and stays off. 13+ volts at the posts Any thoughts |

Also, clean up all the connections in the starter circuit. The battery terminals, the terminals on the starter, the transmission ground strap, the chassis-to-battery ground strap.... Most contamination (dirt) offers more resistance when the parts are warm.
