RE: Battery Issue

Go back and read his post, he says it does end up starting! I'm tired of arguing with an idiot part replacer. Aren't you the same brainiac that says put in 'colder' plugs if the motor is burning oil? I rest my case.

But if the car won't start how the hell can he tell how much power the alternator is giving to the battery? Oh, he can't! I was never saying that a volt meter won't do the job, but it's easier with a battery tester. It saves a lot of time, and in my line of work time is everything. Same reason we have air tools. Anyways, I'm done arguing. You can call me what you want, I really don't care.

I can't believe you call yourself a mechanic. What do you mean how much the alt is putting out is insignificant? It has a lot to do with what his problem could be. If it's not putting out enough to fully charge the battery it won't start the car vet well will it? If you knew anything about a volt meter and how to use one you could tell if the battery is good or not. If the connections are clean and good, the alt is putting out at least 13.5 volts what else is left? I'll give you a hint, it's the BATTERY! I don't like to put people down on the forums but you really sound more like a 'part replacer' than a mechanic Xemeth.

And I have no idea what you're talking about with the colder plugs thing. I don't even remember a burning oil post.
I tried to end the arguement by saying you were right, but I was giving him an easier and more accurate option for the battery, but you have to go e-dicking and make assumptions about me because you think you're right.
