Hi all,
Well this morning was the coldest on record for 2 years in RI, it's currently a barmy 12?F which to this british car is -11?C. I went out this morning to start and warm the beast (the 88 doesn't have seat warmers). it was a very sluggish crank, which final led to a drained battery. I have one of those DieHard battery/starters which I put on and cranked the engine again, it would crank and nearly catch but then the battery drained out. I've left the battery on charge for a few hours, now I get nothing when I turn the key. I get the lights on the console lighting up the seat belt etc, but no engine cranking, its almost like its not engaging, just nothing. All the rest of the electrics work fine. It was working fine yesterday and when I parked it last night. It's my everday driver car, so today was a day off work. I need to try to get this truck started again ASAP. So if any one has any ideas please post them. Thanks.
Steve
