If I put a meter across the battery terminals, it reads about 12.3 volts w/the motor running. But it reads at least 12.5 with the motor off. The car is kind of funky in general electrically - sometimes the tach and speedometer don't show anything (when in motion or revving the engine). Radio doesn't work. I just started this thing up after about a year, and previously there were 2 error codes stored (and at one point it stop starting altogether). The check engine light comes on, but I haven't checked for what codes are there now. With the battery terminals presumably tight as they should be, it sometimes *clicks* a few times before starting. Someone told me I could have bed grounds to the computer (the one under the hood), but I pulled the computer out, and all that is connected to is is a connector. Is the computer grounded through that? Halp.
