ok, if youve kept up on the LSD intake thread you'd know that i have been having an electrical problem. Here goes
k its been getting worse, i would shut the car off and EVERYTHING would go dead...for a while at least. I was usually able to start it back up after a few minutes but finally about a week ago it shitted out for good.
so...my first thought was a bad ground. the negative battery terminal was ass, so i replaced the battery ground with a 2 gauge and a new terminal. Still didnt work. so what now? all the grounds? thats my next idea.
well so just to make sure that it wasnt the battery, i swapped batteries with my white prelude. The optima red top that i put into the white car pretty much ended up doing the same thing that it did on the blue car. it started up just fine, then i shut it off and everything goes dead. strange huh? maybe its a bad battery. crappy....
then i put the excide battery into the blue car (the one im havin probs with), it starts up just fine, but just as its starting i see fucking SPARKS shooting up from the alternator/cruise control area. WTF?!
thing is..I have a 94 accord 90 amp alternator....upgraded. my thought now is that it could be the alternator ground. I couldnt get it to do it more than once....but if thats what it is...then it wouldnt surprise me that it ruined the battery.
has anyone had this problem?> I know butter most likely upgraded his alt ground before upgrading his alternator. anyone know electrical systems well enough to say 'yeah that's entirely possible' at least?
i hope i didnt ruin the battery, fucker was expensive
