Well I had my first super fun instance with my ty today. i was driving to the beach and pulled over to eat with my chic. so we go into wendys and eat come back out tys dead. lights werent on nothing was running. so i figure aight jump it and go on my merry way so i start looking for a jump no one has cables. well as i am trying to find a jump these people wreck right in frount of me and they are freaking out its a bunch of homies riding chromies that got hid by an excursion. well the cops show up in mass numbers. i have my hood popped and am sitting in the car and a cop helps me get jumped off well. during the 30 minutes i was waiting to get any kinda help i 411ed advance auto and had a battery on its way well we get the truck started and the battery shows up so i just go to advance my volt gauge is freaking out so i figure i have a dead cell in the batterey no loss. we get to advance and i hook up the vat cause the lady didnt know how and i am pushing no amps out at all. so i have to buy and alternator also. i have 0 dolllars in cash. luckily they take checks. but after multible burns and knuckle shattering wreching i get the alternator installed and the battery in. start it and it wont idle.i then remember the thread about spark plugs and having to resest the timing. so i go thru every gear and make it idle get it going and not had a problem since. so heres my question what could cause the ty to just drive in fine be parked for 30 minutes then not start. thanks for the help.

If you were at a Wendy's, you weren't in BFE. Mine died 35 miles from the Alaska/Canada border. :rant:

My ass. Look at it.
Re: Dead in BFE

Sounds kinda like an Ignition module...those things seem to go bad all the time.
Try cranking it over with a test light on the coil terminal on the dist. cap. If there is no power, thats your problem.

Also, sounds like a full tuneup wouldnt hurt :) .

well if it was the ICM wouldnt it still be not starting the car wasnt turning over. the battery had like 6 volts reading on the gauge. no juice just curious to what would cause the spontanious dead battery. i was thinking voltage regulator but it would run just not crank and when i revved to over 2000 it shut off when i was doing a VAT test. also i have pictures coming as soon as my chic gets them to disc have no fear i look useless
