Hi Fix.
My wife called today letting me know that the Kick would not crank (clicking sound). As I was not with her my only suggestion was to disconnect battery terminals (neg first then positive) and then try again. So she did and car started. The Kick used to do that a every once in a while (due to a bad positive terminal now replaced) but last time before today was 3 months ago on a very hot day. Neither plugs, rotor or wires have been changed(need to do soon). You know all the other problems (code 51, now solved) and the slipping tranny just to let you know kicks present condition. My question, what could be going on, if afterwards car starts fine and drives ok. I will check voltage again (I did about 3 weeks ago and everything was OK). Is there a test for the alternator?
Thanks again.
