Re: charging problem when starting

["Matt Willey" <mwilley@logical123.net>]

    Well, I have absolutely no help to offer.  Just to say that I add myself
to the me too list.  I too have been through the ground wiring, etc, and to
no avail.  Still the same problem.  But, it has been like that the whole
time I have had the car, so I don't worry about it much.
