Dam, didn't start the car for a week. Been working on a better haltech tps braket.



I finish and wanted to starte her up and the battery was weak. ****... It rev so slow. Battery i think is at least 2years old and is an optima red top. It saw hard times with a few bad alternators till i got the s5 alternator.



Funny thing, I tryed to start it at first and no go. Then later at night, about 10pm. I happen to go downstairs and say **** it. Let me try for ***** and giggls. Fucken thing stared right up. It backed fired lound and smoked but it started, I most of waken up the neighbors. It was 10pm so i shot it down but i should of taken it out and drove around.



Tryed this afternoon and the thing is dead as hell. what the .. Goign to get it chargeed up at my dad's place. Dam is cold outside.

Holy **** that's funny.





Sorry to hear about your battery Carlos...I have killed quite a few with my 7, but my current Champion made it through the winter okay.

Can't jumpstar it with a pack. I have done it before but is not wise to do with a haltech inside.



Did get the battery charged up Will try again.
