Check your battery/Alternator. Disconnect electrical things you don't need like amplifiers. I've killed many alternators on domestic 4 cyl. cars cuz I just couldn't bring myself to disconnect the amp and look for the problem...

Re: code 20 on a zc

Re: code 20 on a zc

Re: code 20 on a zc

i am not too sure cause i bought the car like thAt. the guy told me that there was a puff of smoke and the car died. thats why i am trying to figure out possible problems. to see if it is worth fixing.
