Hi, looking for some input. So just a backstory before I get into the symptoms. I recently changed my o2 sensors and was driving it for approximately 1 month until I realized it was driving funny. So a little search on prime told me that the wires might have been crossed and when I went under...
Understood, I had a mechanic friend come by finally after a busy work schedule and he tested the starter and it seems to work fine. Upon further inspection he took out his volt meter and found that the ground is all wonky and not at 0 at all. So it turns out Drew was right all along initially...
Really appreciate the help. It seems to be the starter since I've tested and confirmed there is electricity going into it but its just not doing anything.
Didn't jump from the engine compartment, i'll try that and let you know. I'm suspecting the starter, is there an easy way to know if it went bad? I've tried tapping it and then trying to start the car but nothing. Does someone need to tap it at the same time while I try and start the engine?
Lights seem to dim extremely minimaly, almost to the point of not being able to notice. My battery is a larger optima drycell approximately 2 years old. Maybe its on its way out? also I noticed that the voltmeter on the dash says 11 and most people say that it should be 12?
Thanks, the ABS was going on and off intermittently so I wasn't getting a light but rather the annoying pump going on every 5 seconds I'm driving. I cleaned all the terminals and still no luck. Funny thing is about a month ago it has happened at a parking lot when I was going to the bank but...
Thanks, I'm suspecting you're right. It just feels like something is loose. Oh and I forgot to mention that before that I was hard locking my ABS to exercise the solinoids because my ABS pump was going off and not stopping. My battery is just tied down with bungee cords and doesn't have a tray.
Weird thing happened today. I drove my car in the morning and then parked it sort of halfway out of my garage because my wife was painting something in there. When she was done and I was ready to back my car up it just wouldn't start. All the lights go on perfectly fine but when I turn the key...
I enjoy various single malt scotches in general. My personal favorite would be Talisker 10 year old or if you want to really indulge here's a bottle of the 25 year old I had at my wedding
Yea I was looking for one in decent shape and unmolested, mind you this was back in 2004 so there were plenty to go around. Now unfortunately not so much. =/
