<x-charset iso-8859-1> Thanks for all the help. I did not know it was a generator, I thought
after certain years, the late cars had alternators? Oh, well. I had the
battery charged at one of those battery stores for free. This was a fairly
new battery(less than 6 months), but I think the radio wiring combined with
it sitting during the winter (I only take it out a couple times a month)
discharged the battery enough for it not to get a good charge in that 10
minutes of driving. Plus I let it sit for about two weeks on that 10min.,
so that did not help any. But again thanks for the info, I got scared there
for a minute thinking something else has gone wrong, you guys know how it's
just one thing after another.
Speaking of which, I still have yet to figure out my FI system,
recently I was having more problems with the car just shutting off and not
starting again. The list had talked about temp sensors and cold start system
etc. But I haven't had the time to work on anything, it also too cold. We
I had disconnected the Temp Switch and this seemed to work for a while then
it happened again. The car just dies and will not start. So I unplugged
the Cold Start valve's MPC and she started right up. And after I got my
battery charge she ran like never before, I mean smooth, just beautiful.
So, what gives? Could the cold start system really cause this much flux
in the operation. I know it is only suppose to work while the starter is
firing. I'll have to do a full system check once the weather warms up here
in OH. Sorry this is so long and I really don't have a question, just
trying to air it all out.
Thanks again,
