Ugh! I ended up having to work on my car all day, and now I still have to clean all my tanks before I go back to work tomorrow. Sorry nothing much to report here tonight. I might try to sneak something in while I'm cleaning my ponds though.

Well basically I pulled half the electrical out of it today to find out the battery is toast, and the wire running from the starter to the altenator was broken. Car has been killing batteries for about 2 years now, and seems like it was on it's last electrical leg. The last battery went in and after a month started dying again. I would jump it and good for a week then dead again, jump it good for a day, dead again, then I had to jump it everytime, and eventually that wouldn't work and when you would turn on anything electrical it would die. So I pulled the starter, altenator, and battery, all tested fine except the battery, but since I bought it just a few months ago, it was under waranty and was replaced free. Spent $2 on a new end for the altenator wire, put it back together and it runs like new again. I guess I'll see if it really works in a month or two. I'm all cut up as there are some tight working quarters in a z-24 cavalier engine compartment. One of the bolts took about an hour to get back in. The rest were relatively simple.
Man that's sucks, one of my friend had electrical problem with his car and had to take it back to the dealer. Later he found out that they had a recall on some of those car back in 2002-2003. After one year later it started to give him problems again from the wiring so he finally got rid of the sucker.
