The battery was out of the car and on a trickle charger. Put it in and tried to start the car and it was down to 10+ on the console voltmeter, everything worked, fuel pump, gauges, lights, radio put not enough to turn the starter over. Went to sears and bought a new sears battery that looked like it had been sitting on the shelf a long time(really dusty) it read 12.2 at sears and it would not start the car. I'm running 44webers, webcam, euro pistons and so on. Last year I put in a new starter and ignition switch (which looked just like the picture on the bird site, cracked and leaking). I haven't run the car since early December, it ran fine and was put away, topped off with an added dose of fuel fresh. The battery is about 8 or 9 years old. Is the way to go an Oddessy that has more power? Unfortunately this car sits for way too long between times of it being on the road.
Your opinions, please. |

12.2 should spin her up and probably start her. Check your connections and grounds.
