I think that a ground might be my problem. But tell me what ya'll think about it. I went to go drive my car the other day, and everytime it hits about 1500 RPM, it loses all power, then it comes back on. There is a click that sounds like its coming from my deck. Could it maybe be the fuzz buster I just bought? Cause it didn't do it the other night when it was parked. Then I bought the fuzz buster and plugged it in and it did this.
 
What would cause a capacitor to go out though?
 
Capacitors go out from old age and usually heat-the enemy of all electronics. Does the engine die or does it just stumble? also how did you hook up the fuzz buster?-spearfish huh? I used to live in mitchell.
 
The engine idles fine, its just when I try to drive, it cuts out. When I stop it does fine. When I got the fuzz buster I just ran it to the cig lighter outlet.
 
It was the battery. Turns out it had 0 juice in it.
