[Shotimes] Was fuel now electrical

[Zach Leahy]

You're talking about the big positive cable on the battery right?  It
could just be damaged and need replaces.  The terminal ends will
occasionally fall apart.  If that's the case i would get some bulk
cable and the solder on ends and make a new one.  Doesn't take long,
it's pretty easy, and sounds like it will fix your problem.

> When the fan came on I noticed so did the pump and he would start.Strange.I do this with the cable for several minutes.When I moved the cable in different locations he would die.Got some crazzzy shit going on up in here now.While running I get her to roll down the passenger window so I can talk witout raising my voice,he died.
> I jack up the front and inspect the cables from the starter to the solenoid back to the battery,everything looked ok.Any ideas?Could the alternator be bad?Its less than 1 year old.
