Hey sorry if this is the wrong section,i assume it comes under technical as i'm not sure if it's electrical or a mechanical problem....
Anyway....this Nova i have been detailing has a slight problem,if the car is jump started fine......leave it for a few hours it turns over slowly and is touch and go if it will start,if it dosn't start.....next time you try the dash lights will come on turn the next notch to turn it over and not even a click DEAD,jump start it and its fine,i know the obvious is the battery.....
When the car is running it sounds like a belt is catching something ever so slightly & making a noise.... i can't see anything that is draining the battery,the digital dash shows 13volts constant(not sure is this gauge is reliably wired in or not)
Is there any tricks tips and tests you guys can give me to check out? sometimes when rolling on the biting point on clutch the car will cut out,which is making me think it is something else at fault(it's not stalling):S ! Sensor possibly? earth strap on gearbox?
I may have to get a video to show the problem,probably easier! however i will wait to see if anybody has any suggestions,cheers in advance,Roy.
