This is the only car group I know. So pardon the off-topic post.
A young kid with a minicooper flagged me down to jump start his car. I told him, I’d be happy to if he could figure out how to use my 400V pack…. Then I asked, well, have you tried just rolling it and popping the clutch to get it started. He looked at me with blank stare. I smugly said, sure, it’s a stick shift, so we just get it rolling and pop the clutch and it will start. It wouldn’t. Then I began to realize, that all the cars I have done this with in the past DID NOT HAVE ANY CPU’s in them. IE, all you have to do is get a spark, not power up and entire network of computers before the motor will even begin to consider the “starting process”. So is this true? That we can no longer pop-start a modern car with a dead battery? My son (too cheap to buy a new battery) still does it frequently with his pre-cpu Geo-Tracker, in fact we just did it last week. I’m just too old for all these newfangled hurdles… Bob -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
