Key on for the first time in about 5 months.....




Burbling gurgling sounding ding ding ding. Fuel pump primed at least.

Either a dead gauge on the charger, or a dead Optima. It'* at least 3 or 4 years old. I might try to combine jumper cables. Or mine MIGHT reach from the SLE if I touch bumpers.

Edit:

Yup. Optima was in the car in Sept. of 2003 at least.
