two batteries question
« on: July 04, 2006, 06:42:00 PM »

I am getting a misfire at the top end of the track and i think the battery is not coping well enough, so i'm thinking of fitting a second one on the other side of the trunk.
The car has a dual field alternater, Gold box and the stock ballast, could this cause the misfire, i have read the gold box needs a 0.25 ma ballast and the stock one is 0.50.

2 things. first get the correct ballast. second check the firewall connectors to be clean especially the main feed to the coil. use spray contact cleaner.

It never happens in the first 2 gears, it's always in 3rd.
Bob, 2 of the firewall connectors are new and 1 is the engine bay, coil is accel super coil.
I am fitting a new battery brfore it hits the track again, i will check all the connections again.
The alternator is dual field. I have got a spare orange box, i may try that next time out, as i know they use the .5 ma ballast.
Thanx for your input Mike
