87t2 fcd, hks intake greddy boost cntrl. safc. relocated battery.. car starts w/ jump idles fine then when put into gear car shuts off. ive posted once but i see that all the dumb threads get answered b4 mine. so i thought id throw out a catchy sinker...( sorry for sacasmm ,yes im kinda pissed)-erik

 

nice rhyme!

 

When you jump start it, are you clipping directly to the battery or to the old battery cables up front?

You are having to jump it - so is the battery dead?

It sounds like a primary cable has come loose.
Maybe the battery to body ground..

 

Let me get this straight.. As SOON as you put it into gear the car dies? Without doing ANYTHING else, just moving the shift lever into gear?

 

did you have to jump it before you relocated the battery...and J-Rat's question too..also curious did you do a mod under the hood that required you to relocate battery..it does sound like shorting ..do you blow any fuse when it dies..have you checked connections and wiring since battery relocation..you have an safc.. ..did you try to disconnect it and start and put in gear to see if there is a difference..sinker hit back to ya

 

^ or is it when you start to get on the gas?

 

i can put it in gear i can drive. but as im driving the car turns off. then sometimes turns back on!! i know its crazy today i bought a test light. and my battery is completely dead.(brand new) i think it may be a short but i dunno. no i didnt have to jump it before i relocated it nor after i did so.

 

wow, you really didn't get that across well in the first post

 

Dead/dieing altenator?

 

ima bump this just one time be fore i invest my time and mioney into some glowing hood squirters for my honda.

 

This is about the DUMBEST thread ever posted. It rivals the post about using the airpump being used as a supercharger.

 

you have got a short some where (sounds like)..check the wiring ..battery dead..charging system..check the wires going to battery..after all you said you relocated it ..check the connections..check wiring behind the alternator ..check for a short there..wires get hot and brittle there..check ignition connections (coils CAS. so on).and again...if you don't have battery charged..and the engine is just operating off of battery it will run for a bit then die because the battery is not charging..so it points to alternator..start diagnosing by eliminating ..not sayin screw it..that doesn't get you anywhere (but into a honda)

 

ok guys today i finally figured it was a short in the system due to the positive battery cable had split and grounded out on the rail. thanks for all guys i was just kidding about the honda. TYHANKS HAILERS FOR BEING SO HELPFUL!!!YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR NAME TO HATER..(fits better)you should also stick to windsurfing for all the airr coming out your A$$, ******.-Erik
