SCS came on again last night after swapping the alternator a couple of weeks ago. Battery was replaced in Feb, so I doubt it could be that, but I need to test it again. The Z however, has been having trouble turning over the past week or 2. Sometimes it would take 2-3 times until she fires up. I'm assuming it could be the battery that's not holding the charge.
Here's the sequence.
Clutch in, push the start button and nothing. Only clicking.
Clutch in again, push the start button and the engine would turn over slowly.
Idles fine, SCS comes on, and the volt meter on the dash would read 12v.
Turn on the heated seats/rear defroster/heater...and would see the voltage go down.
5 minutes later, the voltage would go to 14v and hold steady. SCS is gone.
Thoughts? You guys think it could be the battery this time? I haven't been hooking it up to a battery tender ever since the temps have dropped here in Chicago. Could that be the reason?
