Did you have the battery load tested? When you say "reads well" what did you read?   John Nasta Old Car Network http://oldcarnetwork.com     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 1:42 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] Starting Problem ??   I have a qestion regading starting my car. When I start the car I have to use a battery charger, but however I took the battery and had ur tested and it reads well and its not in the battery. When you turn the key it wont start but when you put the charger to it it starts and runs, but then when you turn it off NOTHING !! Then you sit for a few minutes and it cranks again. And the process repeats itself over and over. I have put in new plugs, starter, coil, wires,distributor, points,cables, coil and so on as the list grows. There is only one thing that I have noticed is that the ignition wire coming from the harness to the coil is frayed and gets hot when you leave the key on. But the engine still starts. I have a 350 cu in in there.  Any suggestions or solutions ?? Playing process and elimination is taking its toll on me and my wallet.....thanks for any help someone can give John Malibuman66 Phila, Pa
