Does it do it on a rainy night with your lights, a/c, wipers, and stereo only?  Do you see where I''''m going with this? Help us, help you, bro, otherwise all you''ll get are guesses from us. < Message edited by silvercoupe97 -- 8/21/2008 3:25:33 AM > _____________________________ Thanks, John 6 bolt/2g head,1G rods/2G pistons,FPBig28,MBC,Forge 1G DV,alky inj,AFPR,255lph,780cc, 3" turboback,Centerforce,4 spider,FMIC, Prosport Boost&EGT gauges,AEM wideband,DSMlink, AGX/Skunk2 (in reply to dsm1990gsx) Post #: 6

The car in some cases may shut off aswell. I doubt it''s the battery, but their could be a slim chance. let us know Gus (in reply to silvercoupe97) Post #: 10
