ok.. i have been having some issues with my car since i got it rebuilt and did the swap, i have had an idle surging problem since day one and cant figure it out... it some times at stops seems like it cuts out on running on two cyclinders and sounds horrible!
and recently a few weeks ago, it wouldn't start! I would go to crank it and it would make a click and then i would loss complete power, so i would mess with the battery connections! after a good amount of time it will start, but doesn't this often now! Check the battery... its good, have a new starter, and the connections are tighter then if they were welded on haha!
NOW two days ago... it started acting SUPER wierd! i was stopped at a light and smelt this horrible metal/paper burning smell and all my warning lights on the dash turned on... and go off when the engines is reved.. like the higher its revving the dimmer the warning lights are! This would come go frequently! INTILL Today.. i was stuck in traffic and the light came on again and then my radio started turning off and on consistently.. my rear defrost wasnt working, my car lighter wasnt' working, my wideshield wipers were moving at the speed of a snail (cause it was rainging) and then my car started running like it was only on two cyclinders again, starting sputtering and missing and then died... on one of the BUSIEST intersections of morning time traffic in austin!!!!
Car WILL NOT start... i tried what ive been doing the past week when it doesn' want to cranks and nothing!
ill disconnect my battery and wait around 30 secs and then everything is on in my car... once i try to crank it, it clicks and i loss all power again and again and again!!
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME figure this out.. this is my Daily Driver and in north central austin, far from home and have no other way to work!!!
Please help!!
