Need Help
Hey guys, I need some help diagnosing an issue with my 1988 305 TBI Camaro. My car is not keeping a charge longer than 24 hours and is having trouble turning over whenever I jump start it. I have both a brand new battery and alternator. I would appreciate any ideas.

Sometimes the under-hood or hatch light does not go out so check those easy ones first.
Then connect an ammeter in series with the battery.
If there is more than 50 milliamps there is excessive draw.
(You can use a small bulb such as a side marker bulb if you don’t have an ammeter.)
With everything turned off and doors closed observe the current flow.
Pull the fuses one at a time, including the pump fuse near the battery, till you see the current drop.
That’s the circuit with the problem.
