check those grounds.

 

i had a bad starter once that did some weird *** **** to the electrical system.

would even cause my car to suddenly cut off while driving...

 

Will take the advice and get under there soon. Wish I could this weekend, but I'll be out of town.

I did load up the older s/w and f/w, and an old map, but then I realized the calibration of the WB02 was waaaay off (whoops), so I ditched that idea and reloaded all the newer stuff.

I've had to roll-start the car the past two days :(

Once I get this starting **** sorted, I'm taking the car to KO for some assistance.

 

Starting issue has been fixed with the replacement of the starter. This was done like 10min ago. Let's see what happens when I go for a drive....


For future search references:

1) radio cutting out was an over-voltage issue and was solved with the replacement of the alternator.

2) slow/no start issue was solved by replacing the starter.
