Low Power after hitting a bump

Sounds weird never had that problem. How much for the part?

$35. For the price it is worth the try

Agreed - never heard of that issue however.. Keep us posted!

I didn't get to driver her since I did the install. So I will drive tomorrow and see how she does.

One friend had this go out in his Vette and suggested it might be the cause since the symptoms were similar.

Another kept mentioning that it might be the cause as well. After doing some reading I figured why not.

My fingers are crossed (I hate Electrical Gremlins)

agreed!!!!

Fingers crossed didn’t work. Still losing power at bumps. Back to grounds? I checked the fuse block under the hood and it was good. Battery is tight.

Symptoms: Gauge needles get erratic, doors unlock, ac compressor kicks off, Check engine light comes on, cruise control is kicked off (if engaged)

battery connectors/terminals tight?

 

[beav626]

yes battery is tight

The engine has a ground in the back. Don't know exactly but when I got my engine overhauled, my mechanic showed me the wire and it can easily break and he said it was just hanging so you should look for it and see if it's good

I can change a water pump, and many other things... But how the Heck do I access the back of one of these motors.

I was under there today. Checked the front ground and it was good. But I couldn't find how to access the back of the motor from the top or underneath.
