Have you upgraded your big three??
Capacitors do not help a weak electrical system at all...sorry but you have wasted money on that...I'd say sell it and use that money on better upgrades

Although I would recommend HO alternator first, battery simultaneously, while at the same time, "the big three", i.e. ALL AT ONCE... But that's just me. If you do have to choose, though, boogeyman's suggestions are right on the money.
Hmmm... Another cap that "doesn't seem to work"... Did your local guy tell you that it was necessary, and would fix your problems? Is he the same guy that told you Audiobahn was good stuff? (Sorry, REALLY unnecessary jab, there...)
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
