Starting concerns

[Dave_B]

Do have a voltimeter and will check the battery. Didn't have that problem at all yesterday, started the car 4 different occasions.

This morning, got in to go to work and took a few minutes of tinkering around, again pressing the clutch in again and moving the shift lever around. Finally she fired up.

The only reason I don't think it's battery is that there is no light dimming on the dash, no attempt to crank at all. Just like a car with an ignition kill switch, or key not talking to immobilizer or clutch safety switch.

I'll report back the VM findings later today.

And she decided to act up on my twice more today.

Same symptoms, nothing, nothing, start like nothing is wrong.

Have you checked the voltage yet, results?

[Dave_B]

Glad you asked again. I had to work after hours today resetting a password on an ESX host.

Just checked it.



Was quite difficult to take a pic and have the 2 leads on it. LOL

Is that when car is running or off?

[Dave_B]

Car off. Terminals connected.

[Johnmadd]

Can you do one while running?

[Dave_B]

Sure, give me a few minutes to wolf down dinner and head out there.

14 ~ 14.03 volts

That all sounds good. I would say that crosse off the battery and alternator. Good stuff thus far, I will think more now...

Does the clutch slip?
