Your gonna be like what the heck, it's just a battery. Well, I've never done anything to a car before. So I'm pretty proud of myself!!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So my battery died over winter, and since it's gonna be nice next week, I decided to get it running, so the battery died, I borrowed my neighbors battery charger, and I let it charge for 24 hours.

So today, started it up, ran for 10 seconds and died... happend again, so I gave it some gas and it was running, I started to pull out of the garage, and it died!!! Won't start so I'm mad and screwed because its nose is sticking in the alley!

So I went to autozone, got a $50 battery/extras, and went home. The whole ride home, I kept thinking of how bad I'm gonna get shocked.

So I got the + and - things off, and that nut holding the battery gave me and 1 and a half of hell....

I'm not a tool man so I had to work with what I had, after an hour of trying to fit a huge socket wrench in the car...

I took the 1/2 inch socket and stuck some pliers in the hole and started turning! THANK GOD, my fingers were in pain from me turning the bolt bit by bit. My head was bleeding from smacking my head under the hood...

So the moment of truth, yea.. it fired up.... sled rode down an alley of ALL ICE... and drove up the street... Then I realized, the car was driving by itself. I didn't have cruise on either.

My friend says It's either my COLD IDLE?!! Or it's idleing to high.... Its like 20 degrees (F) right now....

It never did that before the storing so hopefully it will go away.

good for you!

on a side not, you can't shock yourself on 12v. 32 v is about when you'll get a nice zap.
