THANKS GUYS FOR ALL THE HELP. THIS MUST BE THE BEST VETTE FORUM ON THE PLANET.
TODD157K NAILED IT WITH A LOOSE POS. TERMINAL AT THE BATTERY.
AFTER TIGHTENING I CHARGED IT FOR OVER 24 HRS. & NO PROBS STARTING SINCE!
THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED. IM SURE THIS WONT BE MY LAST BRAIN FART.
I have an Optima Red Top on my 2001 and I carry a small torque wrench now to re-tighten the terminals to 11-ftlbs every chance. I have never checked them yet they they did not loosen themselves even after a day or two.
