The starter will turn whether the ignition is on or off. This is what had me concerned. In the past it could sit all win; /html/mgs/2007-05/msg00063.html (8,507 bytes)

Should be between 14.3v and 15.5v on a brown running at a fast idle, minimal electrical load, after having had enough running time to put the cranking energy back into the battery.

Voltage drops substantially when I pull the starter. Even the gas gauge dips to "E". No, everything's clean and; /html/mgs/2007-05/msg00071.html (9,499 bytes)
