thanks ,
I'll do it ,the battery is in the trunk so it's easy,i was unsure about the long disconnect time.i have a tune that would cost better than a grand to have done over.along with 6 hours on a trailer each way,Birmingham.the guy that did the tune sold out, Pensacola Fl.
i wish it were a bad relay or something in plain sight
this is why i bought a dyno and am going back to school.i will tune this car myself.
the reading is 12.28vdc.
i drove last night.
