#712 of 760 hammering down universal terminal by lucas8 Feb 17, 2008 (5:51 pm)
Not sure if this is the right forum in which to post this question, but I replaced the positive terminal on my Kia with a universal one, but can't seem to fit it all the way down the post without hammering it down. Necessarily a bad idea to do so? Replies to this message: kiawah (Feb 17, 2008 6:37 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Feb 18, 2008 9:05 am)

Replying to: lucas8 (Feb 17, 2008 5:51 pm) yes, bad idea to hammer on the battery. You can break the post in from the case, or one of the plates inside, and the battery will be worthless.   Go get another terminal that fits better.

Replying to: lucas8 (Feb 17, 2008 5:51 pm) Not unless you want to buy a new battery AND the proper size terminal tomorrow.
#715 of 760 sporadic poor start problem by kurtr Feb 26, 2008 (10:52 am)
2003 Hyudai Sonata (62K miles) starts quickly and runs like a dream nine times out of ten. But sometimes, regardless of conditions (temp, humidity) it takes 2 or 3 extended periods of cranking to start the engine. No chugging or misfires. Once it starts, the engine runs smooth and fine. Spark plugs are new and fuel injectors have been cleaned. Air filter is in good shape and so is the battery. Any ideas? Fuel filter? Fuel pump? Oxygen sensor? --Thanks Replies to this message: hytech (Apr 07, 2008 6:25 pm)

Replying to: kurtr (Feb 26, 2008 10:52 am) check the crank sensor behind the starter for wires exposed or dried cracking insulation if it is a 2.7 l motor many times it causes intermittent start issues also while there check the s terminal to the starter very rarely but does happen that it has bad pin tension and can cause similar prob.
#718 of 760 Mazda won't start by jlkcargal Apr 30, 2008 (7:08 pm)
Ok where to start?? Check engine light came on, the only code was the egr valve. A few weeks later it was missing and the codes said random misfire and a few more. It only missed every now and then. Well 3 weeks ago it started jumping, jerking and missing really bad. Brought it home and it won't start at all. Replaced the coil, rotor button, dis. cap, and finally found that the belts had rubbed the crankshaft position sensor. Replaced all of this, still won't start. It's getting fire to all the plugs, and hasn't jumped time. It will turn over but won't start. The few times it has started it was very rough and won't idle, it just dies. It is getting fuel to the plugs. Oh yeah it is a Mazda Millenia 2.5L V6 1997 around 130,000 miles. The plugs were replaced too. Any Ideas??? Please help.

Replying to: jlkcargal (Apr 30, 2008 7:08 pm) normally once a egr code sets followed by misfire codes the vehicle starts dumping raw fuel down the exhaust which ends up clogging the catalytic up to the point the engine cant breathe.. try backing the exhaust bolts from the manifolds down about 1/4 inch and see if the car starts if it does the catalytic converter is plugged up
#720 of 760 96 sunfire 2.2L OHV, starter install issue by cutehumor May 20, 2008 (1:08 pm)
I put in a rebuilt oreilly ultima starter for my 96 sunfire today. I had it tested before I left the store and it passed. Well when I put in the starter, the starter doesn't crank at all. I hear a buzzing sound. I think it has something to do with the starter wires connection. I have five wires to hook to the solenoid. Originally the car had three, but I had an ignition recall done and there is an additional two wires. They are all red and black. anyone have a diagram or photo I can look at?
