Hi all need a bit of advice. I have been having ongoing problems starting me 97 z28. Was advised heat soak could be a factor so bought new starter with heat shield and wrapped exhaust with heat wrap. However its still doing it. The battery when tested on my multimeter shows 12.60 volts. When you put the ignition on, the cars volt meter stays in the red band. When driving the ammeter shows its charging fine(over 14 volts). I also have a testmate which also shows when fired up its puting in over 14 volts(so alternator looks fine). So to recap, battery seems charged and key in ignition. Turn the key and a click of the solinoid thats it. Battery also has a hydrometer on and shows green for charged. However the battery is a 60 amp should it be more? Any help would be great thanks in advance Steve. |

60 amp sounds weak, I'm sure I've got a higher amp one on my 97 Z28 but I'm not at home so can't check what it is. Try finding it listed on a American battery site? |
