I have a 91 with 47K and new autorotor on it. Battery for some reason the night before was discharged and would not start the car. Put it on the charger and started fine the next AM. Drove to work and it sat for 12 hours.
In the evening, the battery was discharged again. Radio and acc. worked but wouldn't turn over. Jumped it and heard the typical clicking noise like the battery was strong enough to trigger the solenoid but not the starter. A small amount of smoke was noted near the manifold. Tried to start again and again, a clicking sound and a small puff of smoke noted again.
Towed it to Pikes Peak Acura and Paul went over the car. Started right up without charging the battery and everything checks out OK. He is going over the car today again.
Does anyone have any ideas as to this mystery? Thanks!
