Think I have a ground problem, working on it RIGHT NOW lol
All,
I have a 97 ES. I have 12v at the battery, 12v at the starter. I am now thinking its a grounding problem. This has been going on sporadically for a while. Sometimes my car doesnt want to start. I pop the hood, shake the cables a lil bit, try it again and it works. I made sure to check the battery cable connections and they all are TIGHT. Now last summer, I replaced the battery cable because it had got really corroded and that helped for a while but now I guess since its cold (Im in the DC area) its giving me trouble again.
The only thing I havent replaced or checked are the ground cables. Can someone tell me where they are located? I found this snippet by Seth98EST (Sorry if I got it wrong)
2) Check your grounds. One behind the battery, one that bolts to the transmission to one of the starter bolts, one on top of the intake manifold. Make sure they are connected and not corroded.
Thats what im going outside to check now. If anyone has any other suggestions, etc puhleeeez post them. I took off work today so hopefully I can get er squared away.
