Ha ha ... good one. I made sure of that. Good lookin out though.
Blk35se: I just bought the battery and even though my previous battery always had a nice amount of corrosion on the terminals, the new battery doesn't. I thought that might have been the problem but probably not. Maybe it is a connection.
As for the car, things went smoothly this weekend. She started up without a problem everytime with no hint of the problem. I bought a 1 Farad Capacitor on Sat. but haven't had the chance to install it. Hopefully within the next couple of days I will. I took it real easy on her and didn't even turn the stereo up too high. I'm still going to replace the alternator as well, since the cap is going in. I just hate taking the time and effort to call a hundred different shops looking for a good one at a decent price. Hopefully they are local.
Here's something though to keep your gears turning. My stereo doesn't keep its power. It seems to shut off for a second or two then turns right back on, more when I have it turned up, but I can be at a stop light and it shuts off. In the morning its completely reset but turns on. Thanks for everyone's input and opinions!!
