I went testing tonight didn't go well. Here is what it's doing now. I say now because this season has been a disaster. Car started fine when I loaded it yesterday in trailer. Get to track starts ok. Tech go straight to staging lanes. Car would barely start. Made the run anyway(should have just went back to trailer) car was a dog no power so I shut it off. I'm assuming it had no power because there wasn't enough juice to power the MSD box properly.Car would not not re start battery dead. Get it back to trailer and this is what I tried to no avail.
1. Tried my spare 16v battery 2. Disconnected cables from master cutoff to rule that out 3. Disconnected cables from remote starter solenoid to rule that out. None of that worked so I put the charger on it and it started right up. I loaded it in trailer and shut it off. Tried to restart it and it would barely turn the motor over and would not start. I will try a third battery in the morning but 2 16v battery taking a crap at the same time seems unlikely to me. Any suggestions on something else to look for?
