For some time I was so proud my engine would start right away. The last time
on Friday night I started it few times and everything was fine. Came back
this morning and tried to start it again, no joy? For hours I tried
everything, plugs, coils injectors, everything was fine. Kept cranking,
fired once for a second and died again. Even starting spray didn't do it.
The last thing (lunch time) I measured the voltage while cranking and it was
9V. Ahaaa! I remembered something about the computer not working below 9V.
I hooked the charger and went for a long lunch with the airport bums..Came
back in 3 hrs and BINGO! started right away many times.
So the moral of the story is (I think?). If you have enough power to crank
the engine, does not mean that it will start. The starter pulls down all the
available juice and the computer takes a break. Any comments?
