The alternator wasn't charging the battery fully, and now the battery doesn't have enough juice to start the car.

Got a jump again after parking by my house, went to work and as I parked I started it rite back up as if nothing happened. then 5 hours later it started again as if nothing happened. She's treating me like my girlfriend, we have an arguement and acts like nothing happens afterwards. =-P lol Thanks

Must be a common thing with the SVX. My car makes noises and it goes away like it never happened.

Get the alternator (generator) & the battery checked, could be either? Sometimes the alternator wont be charging enough to recharge what the car is using, & the slightest thing will drop the voltage too low for it to run - e.g. blowing your horn!
Or the battery is faulty, & not holding the charge that the alternator is giving it! A new battery is NEVER a guarantee of a good battery! Phil. (Auto-electrician) 92 SVX (93k in Claret) |
