Subject: Need advice, 1989 L98, lost power by Scott7 on 2012/10/14 23:06:00 Hi, I've been working on my car, the cooling system specifically, over the course of the past few months. Anyway during this time I had the negative ground disconnected but I still needed a jump to start yesterday. The car started fine and ran for about 45 minutes before being shut off. Today I tried to restart it. Turned on the key, dash lights come on, fuel pump is working, turn to start and everything blacks out, no power. Turn off the key and retry, same result. Decided to jump it again. Car starts right up and runs well for about 10/15 minutes then suddenly just dies - dash completely blacked out. Reconnect the jumper and the car again starts right up and runs for another 5 minutes or so then a repete the car dies with no visable indication of power, dash lights out, open door no chime, no power. I've checked the battery and have power, 13.7v. Where do I go from here? Battery has power but car is dead. VATS? All of my key sets act the same, nothing? I would really appreciate some suggestions and I'm hoping it's something fairly simple. Thanks, Scott7 |
