Hey guys,
I have a 95 Gt that is kicking my butt. I am pretty sharp on fixing problems but this one has me STUMPED. I have tested various components and hope that all the info will help some one help me to get this worked out.
Heres the deal:
Car will start up in the morning but when I drive for say ten to twenty minutes, stop and try to restart it slows to start or does not start at all.
-Last week I put in the third starter.
-Two weeks before I put in a new alternator
-Alt puts out 13.47 V @ the battery posts
-Alt puts out 14.40V @ the alternator post to engine ground
-Starter starts sometimes if I jump the posts
-Had the battery tested at autozone, tested good under load. It is a
Motorcraft battery and no so old.
-Made new starter cables out of 4 GA wire with crimped gold terminals.
-Made new ground wires out of 4 GA with crimped gold terminals and cleaned
the paint at the connection for a good connection
-Did not replace ignition wire to starter
-Made a new chassis to block ground
-Battery voltage sits at 12.23V
-Car runs with battery disconnected
I think I tested everything but something is missing in my trouble shooting.
I would REALLY appreciate it if I could get some second opinions on any other things to check or if one of my components are low or bad.
Thanks guys.
