I've unplugged the charger and will check the battery later tonight, it would appear the alternator is charging fine, 14V or so, I replaced the VR awhile back, we will see....

Started, but before I started it, seemed a little low on voltage; I'll let it sit another day off charger.

Isn't the solenoid attached to the starter as a whole?

Battery is about a year old.

Going to try again tonight, and this time will take my load tester home...

Didn't happen to see Hoon-a-pig-o-saurus (or whatever they called it...) there...?

That is one crazy looking 930.

Was told today that Lia Block, the 16y old Daughter of Ken Block, is driving the 1400hp beast out of contest at Pikes Peak...
Wondering if she will get the tires up to temp...

Battery seemed fine last night, load test passed, car started after 48 hours of no charging.

How very puzzling.

Probably a starter issue, dead spot.
