I recently bought an 88 accord coupe, fuel injected...I knew i'd have a lot of work in store, but for $500 it was a pretty decent deal. Anyways, if the car is left for anything more then overnight the battery goes dead. When i first got a new battery in there, i took it down to autozone and had the alternator and battery checked both were fine... After more then a day left there, the car battery goes dead as a rock. I think we've gone through 3 batteries now.

I searched and it doesn't look like theres a whole lot of people on here that are still driving these cars, but its a coupe and it looks pretty decent...

Anyways...any ideas? I know there must be something electrical, but theres just about 800 miles of electrical wire in the car so...Yea. Although the alternator is still "good", if i jump the car it runs, but then the second i turn off the car its back to *almost* dead as a rock.


Thanks for any help/ideas!
