thanks alot guys!! im still deciding whether to buy a new battery or not. not that im tight on funds just that it really hasnt shown any signs of being very bad since ive changed the alternator.. (exept the low idle sometimes).
ive just recently done a complete tune up, plugs, wires, oil, air filter, fuel filter, ect..(and alot of other misc. parts)
and yes, i heard about the dangers of disconnecting the battery while the car was running, but after i had already done it.(for sure wont do it again)..
i talked to a couple of people about it and some say the bad battery could effect my new alternator in the long run so i may just change it pretty soon..
THANKS for ALL the advise!! much appreciated..!
