(450 amps could be wrong, when i tested mine it read 212 amps and it was nowhere near good, soo maybe anything higher then 300?)


idk like i said just have pep boys test it.. if its bad then its the battery,
get a new one and if it still doesnt start the car its the big wire going to the starter.. replace that and should be running!

We need to figure out if he is getting voltage before we try checking for amps.... mv is a way of checking for small voltage. And he said in the OP that he put a new battery in it.

And Congo u still haven answered three very important questions for any one tohelp u trobleshoot this problem. Let's focus on one problem at a time so we stay on track with the title of the post. The three questions are .....

the voltage reading on big cable.


Voltage on small wire goin to starter when key is being turned..

And is the main ground cable hooked up to the block.

I know u gave me A reading but didn't specify if it was the big or small wire.
