Hey guys. So here's my situation. Yesterday my wife went to start the truck & it took 3 tries. Each time it turned over & didnt start. Started on the 4th try. She drove it for about 10 minutes then turned around & came back home.
Today while idling at the kids school she said the rpm's were bouncing around from 0-3k, freaking out. She wanted to make sure she didnt get stuck in an awkward spot so she tried to park & when she put it in reverse it died. Let it rest for a few minutes then it started up again after a few tries. All of this comes on the heels of me doing the following & of course she thinks its my fault:
New CAI
LED interior conversion
LED tails
HID fog install: 35w morimoto's
The only thing I can think that I may have screwed up is the ground wire from the HID relay harness. I attached to a screw that's located under an inside edge of where the hood sits when closed. Of course its a painted surface but now that this is happening I have some doubts. I hope someone here can chime in. The battery is an Interstate that is about 3yrs old. I havent been home yet so I haven't tested the battery. Based on what I said here can someone say if its the battery or alternator?
