Ihatespeedbumps Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 How do you know that battery cable is bad after 1 year? Have you done a voltage drop test on all 3 cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihatespeedbumps Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 In your original post you said that the car was having difficulty starting. In the video you are pointing out that it does not idle correctly, and there is no mention of it not starting correctly. I'm confused. Have you read the ETM thread?

Dave 54 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 did they check your grounds when they tested your wires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
