Car Crisis Update: Now the car starts. But now it stalls often at lights and on turns.

Posted by Qale Aug 29 '19, 14:14

This is similar behavior when it was recovered past the Tax Day Flood of 2016.

I’m not sure how that could be related, if at all.
I have the Solar Battery Test ticket from Christian Brothers.

It says 12.55V
Rated: 590CCA
Measured: 509CCA
Temp: 100F/37C

State of health: 86%
State of charge: 100%

They are suggesting I change the battery. I’m like... but... what?
At least it goes places.

I'd recommend not stopping for lights or turning. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 29, 14:24 1

I don't have a lot of history on this but that almost sounds like a fuel problem to me. - spamlet Aug 29, 14:19 4
- It does. It’s a 2005, it had a fuel filter change at least in the last 5 years. My theory is the alternator died, drained the battery, messed up the - Qale Aug 29, 14:24 3
  - the gas tank was drained so low the moisture and bad gas that had built up in the tank was sucked up and now all your smog devices are clogged/f'd -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 29, 15:32
  - That's a possibility as well. -- nm - spamlet Aug 29, 14:37 1
    - This is the theory we’re going with. I really hope it gets me home from Sugarland where I’m at now. And then we can resume this nonsense Tuesday. - Qale Aug 29, 14:41
