I believe you fixed it pontiac4lifesc. I have a tester that measures the voltage and puts a load on the battery. I took the old one out and it read a little over 12volt. I put a load on it and it instantlly dropped to 0. I have no idea how it started the car but it did fine. I drove it about an hour and it hasn't had any fits yet. I hope it's over with. This has driven me nuts for a long time. THANK YOU!!!
