RE: [T3] Speaking of Low voltage and FI


That most likely means the injectors where on longer than needed but will
still run or the input voltage to the regulator was enough to give the
proper output. Did you measure it once it was running?

Subject: [T3] Speaking of Low voltage and FI

Last night I was disappointed that my Interstate battery looks like its only
going to make it 8 years and not the 9 that the last one did.

Turned the key to start and not enough power to close the starter solenoid,
about 8 volts according to the voltmeter.  So I rolled it back and bump
started it right up!!
Since I dont think the generator can get the system voltage up that much at
cranking speeds I was impressed that the FI was still able to work at such a
low voltage.
