I have also just noticed that there appears to be a severe dimming of the interior light when I turn the key to ignition on before I try to crank it over.

This is also a sign of the bad earth or resistance problem (not enough current flowing to the starter)

On most vehicles there is a single high current wire from the battery to the starter motor, but not coming back. :cool: They rely on a decent earth from the motor to the chassis for the return path, which (as noted) won't be through the engine mounts. You've either got high resistance inside one of ...

4sh, toyota didn't make a factory turbo for the 3L motor, and someone should correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't think it would be possible to convert a turbo from just oil cooled to oil & water cooled. I have a dts kit on my 2.8 and it goes heaps better and is water / oil cooled phippsy, The ...

Try much heavier battery leads, in perticular the black negative cable and make sure it is bolted to the body of the car, NOT THE ENGINE, as you loose earth because of rubber engine mounts. I had an XD falcon which did exactly the same thing, I put a 15 plate battery in it and put thicker battery ...

However, he decided to get a factory turbo from the wrecker and fitted it, the dam thing flys now. If it has an after market ...

Try and fit an HJ61 alterhator. They have an internal regulator and will swim all day. I just found a brand new after market one (90 amp) for $400.00 instead of $1500.00 for genuine

You should have two power wires. One RED which will go to constant power. The other one usually YELLOW goes to the accessories switch. What usually drains the battery is when you have a clock display or something like that and people make the mistake of wiring both RED and YELLOW to constant power ...

Did the cb come with install instructions. Usually red is power, being contant or switched and the other should be black not blue for ground. All else fails run a wire straight from the battery but make sure there is an in line fuse between the battery and cb.
