yep was new fully charged etc etc. it does turn it over but just not enough for it to catch. the saab needs 500cca standard holding current not peek, plus i have the draw of 4 stupidly power hungry vw sequential coils, megasquirt 3, 4 huge injectors, a pwm idle valve, etc etc

the vw coil packs alone can make the lights flicker in test mode on full chat as each one has a built in igniter. i did think it was the supply cables to the starter at first but after replacing them for stupidly big 10mm core cables it didnt make a difference.

i have had 2 offers for it within 2 mins of each other. ideally i would like to test it on another car before i let it go just to make sure it is ok. i would rather it go back to the place i got it from than it go to someone i know and not be fit for purpose.
