Just thought I'd share this in case anyone else ever has this problem.

I got in the blue cat to go to work this week and she would not start. Did all the usual diagnostics, cussed and pleaded to no avail.

I decided to check to see if there were any codes to give me a clue (there weren't) and while I was plugged in, deleted a CEL light that had been on for nearly a week due to a leak in the lower part breather hose.

Amazingly, it started right up after that. I guess the cat had felt she had warned me enough and was disabling herself until I fixed the problem. I think I better pull that hose out of the trunk and replace it before she gets really mad.

They're really fickle, aren't they....

 

I have had mine for a year, last Friday I got in it after a drive and got 3 click click clicks when trying to start. Then it fired up. That was a first time for that.

 

Hope it is also the last time!

 

I know my battery is putting out just below normal amps or what ever it is called and from infrequent time to time my windows loose settings, or another odd ball electrical thing happens. All symptoms of a old battery which mine is. I am going to chalk this event to that battery being old.

 

I had a similar problem of intermittent loss of electrical power (fail to start/engine stopping at low speed), cleaning the battery terminals helped for a short time. Using a bench vise to squeeze the cable connectors resolved my problem.
