1st off i just did a 3g alternator conversion. when i went to start the car right after i got finished for some reason my fuel pump wasnt turning on when i turned the key. usually you hear a whine for about 1-2 seconds when you 1st turn the key but this time nothing. the car would crank but wouldn't fire because of the fuel pump. i called it quits for the day cause i had work early and came home today to mess with it some more. now out of nowhere the fuel pump works fine and the car started right up with the noticeable changes from the 3g alternator. i turned on everything without any voltage drop what so ever so it seems the conversion was a success. i took the car out and ran it for like 30 minutes then went to the store so it was shut off for probably another 30. when i came out and tried to turn it on it behaved like the battery was dead. a click then nothing. so i popped the hood pulled off the leads on the battery and reapplied them, then the car started right up. any idea what is causing this? side note when i got out of the car and grabbed the door to shut it i noticed that i got a static shock like if you rub your socks on the carpet and touch metal which i don't think ive ever experienced before, maybe im just being paranoid.
