Hello all,
My 9k has a good battery in it, but stated losing charge. With a boost, she started just fine. Lately, though, the car looses all power in stop/go traffic at least a couple times. Once or twice, started back up fine. Once or thrice, no dice. Then, today, in stop/go traffic on I275 downtown Tampa ;oops:, the same loss of power, then complete stop, with no luck getting her moving again. On the restart, just idles, with seemingly no fuel power and sputtering. Won't move and had to have it towed. The car started once I got it home, but continues to do nothing when pressing for fuel...no tach movement, nothing, just spitter sputter. The battery cable seemed bad (when adjusting the cable, I noticed an increase/decrease in car's electrical charge, but as I said, now a boost does not bring her back to life). If I replace the battery cables, put in new plugs, and have DI cassette replaced, what do yall think the odds are she will be fine. Any help is of course much appreciated. Thanks.
