Re: help plz
That's an old carbureted car trick... doing that to a fuel injected car can fry sensitive electronic components. And, sometimes the car dies, sometimes it doesn't with the EFI cars.
A voltmeter is $10 at Radioslack, why don't you see if the alternator is putting out 13-14.5 volts like everyone else does?
