<p>I helped a friend jumpstart her Toyota (Corolla, I think; maybe a
Camry--who cares ;). A jump started the car immediately, but it
barely ran; couldn't even light the dash gauges. The alternator
was shot; ergo, could be the dynamo on your nephew's car.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Uncle Simon!<br>
……………. I went to work with the healey on Saturday. All went
well in the morning but on the way back the engine stopped
just after the gate... And it would not start: as if the
battery was flat: not much happening when trying to start it!
I spent 30 min checking the distributor, wires, etc. all
seemed normal.<br>
I called the assistance. They came with a battery booster
which got the car started immediately. After 15min of driving
I found myself in a traffic jam. The car kept on wanting to
stop. I tried keeping the revs up but it did not work well:
the engine was making a weird noise, the car had very little
power and the revs did not want to go high: 4500 maximum. I
don't see what that engine problem has got to do with the
battery?<br>
And I can't explain how the new battery can be flat!?<br>
The engine stopped in front of my garage. It would not start.
I pushed the car in it. And left. I was a bit fed up with it
so did not go back. I might do in a few days...<br>
Any ideas about the problem!?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Well, the battery may be new, but I suspect
it’s used quite frequently and doesn’t get time to get
charged.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Main problem is the lack of power and other
related issues. Car is a BJ8 with a very recently fitted
Pertronix EI and coil.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m thinking coil or coil connections or
timing. The car’s in a basement in Paris; I’m in Devon, UK
which makes life tricky.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any thoughts would be much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
