hi all. so my 91 na has been running great. no issues to report at all.
back in april i went on vacation for a week. when i got back, the car would not start. i had enough juice to turn on the lights, and the radio, but not enough to crank the engine.
took 20 minutes jumpered to my buddys car, before it finally turned over.
got it home, put it on a charge, and have had no issues since.
last week, i went on vacation again. got home, and again, the car would not start. same as before. luckily, this time, it was already at my house. hooked up my charger, at 2amp, nothing. 5 amp, nothing. 10 amp, nothing. 40 amp, nothing. 200 amp, and finally the car started up.
i shut it down, and left it on a 10 amp charge for a bit. have had no issues. (friday saturday sunday)
yesterday (monday) we go to the grocery store. im just gonna run in and right back out . so i let my daughter keep the radio on. well, i was in longer than i thought. and when i came out, the car wouldnt start.
so im thinking, ok, battery is dead. pull it, walk home, put it on a charge, and its already fully charged!
i leave it on charge all ngiht. walk back to the grocery today and put it back in. still nothing.
lights come on, radio comes on, blower fan comes on, but car wont crank.
and i do NOT hear a "click" when i turn the key.
maybe starter is bad? im wondering if the 200amp jolt from the charger on friday was just giving it enough juice to kick over the starter?
or could it be solenoid? do they go bad instantly, or could it have been "going" bad?
im thinking hit the starter with a hammer.. but where is it on an na?
