The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XIV

Pintsize725 · 08-14-2014, 11:25 AM

So I'm really not sure if I need a new battery if something else is going on. Car wouldn't start after adding tiny bit of oil last night. Lights came on, radio came on, but it wouldn't start.

This morning, it took two or three tries but it finally sputtered to life. When it was off though, the reading was at 10. Tried it again to run to the post office for work and it started on the first try but it took a while.

how many seconds does the car try to crank to start? cause it is not considered unusual to crank up to 10-15sec on normal key ignition cars.

or are letting go of the brake pedal? it takes a lot of amps to start the car... best you try to start it in one try.

i tried that thinner for my old G KY0 touchup paint.

made it nice and thin again, so i will be re-doing the touchups that the new KY0 paintcode did to my car.

also bought new honda decals for my center caps...
