ek electrcal problems hatchs gone wild
My car has a b18b swap, with an obd 1 conversion. Its been swaped and fine for a 1 year. I haven't done anything to it, just stock b18b.
On Easter, when me and my wife got in the car, it woulndn't start. I was like okay, so i pulled the terminal and it would make a sound, in the engine area, but I couldn't located it, maybe behind the fuel rail. And then when the sound died you could not restart the car. So... I put it back and hurried over and it it started up fine. I did that just thinking that maybe the termanal was not making contact.
After that it worked fine for 1 days it would start and everything. 2 days ago, same way to fix it put the termnal on (even though it was already on) and then it would work. Yesterday I had to get a jump, even though I tried to gt the car going, and it took a while for it to get going too. I had to give it some time. Every time i have ever jumped any one elses car in my maxima its instant for the recieving car.
Then when I was going home I noticed that the ac light would flicker on and off, and that the engine would drop a little in engine speed. I got home turned off the car and tried to turn it back on again. No luck it was dead as soon as I tried to start it back up again.
Before that the only thing funny it was doing would be the lights flickering a little bit (cluster & headlight) but nothing horrible.
I had my car check like 2 months ago at auto zone and they said it was fine and the flickering was because my car was old?
I don't know please help honda-tech
