1986 corvette.problems!! help!!Drew411 02-13-2009, 08:59 PM Hey guys.I really need your help.I have a 1986 corvette and its having a some problems at the moment.Well lets start with the battery.The battery died on me like 3 weekends ago.I brought it up to discount autoparts and they charged over night for me.The battery wasnt completely dead it just needed a charge.Well earlier today the battery died on me again after i had just pumped gas into the car.Therefore i was stuck at the gas station till my brother came by and jump started me.I got home and turned the car off and then i tried starting it up again and it died once again.What might be causing the battery to die on me?? I bought a new alternator about a year ago,so i know its not the alternator. The battery is not the only problem though,my car has been misfiring lately for about a month now.Everytime im at a red light my car will start to misfire.The rpm gage would be going crazy.What could be causing the car to misfire??

Vacuum leak. For vac leak test, search my posts "vacuum leak". Did you do the load test on the battery? vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
