2002 Chevrolet Impala LS 3.8L 178k+/-
was giving me an issue with the security system so my buddy hooks it up to his code reader and decides to start the car and see what it says (I have no idea why). Lights start flickering like the car has a poltergeist then the battery dies. We jump it after cleaning the terminals some and get it going, no flickering lights and all is well. Runs fine for a couple of days then dies at a store, I get jumped again and head back to work. When I get out there's nothing, the jump box security has won't do much of anything and even connecting to a full sized truck for about 6 minutes didn't do it. Tow it home, put in a SECOND battery I keep in a project car and it starts right up. This works for just about 2 days and again nothing. Exact same situation but managed to get it jumped this time . Had the alternator tested and was fine, putting out like 14.4 or somewhere in that neighborhood. Once running the car is fine, just won't start again. Electrical is my weak point so please make any explanations in simple terms as best you can. When I tried to go somewhere today it was dead again after the jump last night. Oh, and the FZR despite sitting has performed near flawlessly minus a jump from the mower. Why doesn't Yamaha make a car
?
