Wat a day
So yesterday was a pretty interesting day so at 5 am I get a call from Rita(girlfriend 6 months strong :-) ) telling me her trucks messing up. So I let drive Jessica( my Legend ) for the day. So I drove her truck to Work to figure out wats wrong with it. So after Work I hook it up to the computer and find its Cylinder 2 missfire so we check spark and its good which leads me to believe its an injector. So then Rita pulls up and tells me Jessica is acting crazy. Battery lights flashing tach and speedo is going crazy. Along with the lights and the radio. Well after testing I find that both the battery and the alternator decided to take a poop. Thank God for m/t. So I I ripped the alternator and battery out in the advanced auto parking lot and warranty them out. So I get Jessica fixed. And then start looking at Rita's Mazda truck. And it turns out its just a loose connection to the fuel injector. Then I go to bed and thank God for helping me :-) :-) :-)

Usually the battery and alternator go at the same time from a loose battery terminal or from a backwards jump.

Okay, so that's not funny. It's what, about an hour's work to R&R... located on top of the A/C compressor... driver's side. I did mine and don't remember any hitches to the job except the clips which I work really hard at not destroying. rich EDIT: And I think Dr. Dave meant Batteries being disconnected while the engine is running, as discussed in another thread.

Well, piggy backing off the info in this thread. I'm gonna have my alternator checked when I go to get my new battery and if it needs to be changed I'm gonna go ahead and change that out this week.
