&*()^&*(^*"%(££!) stupid batt died today coming home at a gas station had to push start the car HATE TO DO THAT but I had to get home so I guess it's time for a new one i knew it was going to go soon I could see it on my Volt meter but was to lay-z to get one now I need to OH well

Thanks for the props at the PIC& Vids guys.

That sucks. At least you can push start it. I hate the ATX sometimes.

FFIW you can push start an ATX also-

sucks eh jose? my old truck would burn out an alt. every 5 weeks- then id run on the batt untill it died then I would realize it was out-
I guess Amps draw a lot or current eh?

To push start an auto you need enough power to fire the computer. It won't catch until the tranny goes into lockup.

I have shut my car off before while I was moving and turned the key back to on when the engine had stopped. It didn't turn over so I guess you can't push start ours. :rolleyes:
