Redfox340 Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 It possible to have one or more of the following: a.) a short electrical leak in the system b.) old - age battery that cannot hold a charge c.) dried out wet cells (re-fill with distilled water) Check the obvious, even the little things can make the biggest problems. - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burning Rom Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 I agree with Erik. Check the battery. This would happen to my TGP. It would start fine one weekend. Then I would let it sit in the garage for a week, and it wouldn't have any juice the next weekend. I replaced the battery and everything has been fine since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 Yup, sounds like a dry cell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMonte1997 Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 not to freak you out, but this happened to my Cutlass Ciera and it wasn't an easy fix. the car had a short in the electrical system and even with a good battery and alternator i'd have massive problems. i just ended up trading the car in.. for another GM of course . good luck. hope it's just the battery.

mdelorie Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 My mechanic had a problem with a Dodge Caravan over the course of like 6 months that would just "die" randomly, while running. He fondly called it, "wonder bus" Had to call in a guy with some pretty screamin' electrical diagnostic equipment to log voltage levels over time and such at various points in the engine. Ended up being a "slightly" corroded ground cable. The strangest things sometimes....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
