[QUOTE="dlaude, post: 11647466, member: 83680"] Glad I used the search function - I almost asked a similar question, but not quite the same. Anyway, I live in south suburbs of Chicago and stored my cobra from ~Oct-yesterday (with a garage transfer ~12/22/11). Last night I connected the battery, jumped it from my wife's car, and started her up. Disconnected the jumper cables and it stopped. Weird, but didn't think much of it. Reconnected the cables and started it again. This time left the cables connected for a few minutes then took them off, stayed on. Pulled out of the driveway to take it around the block and saw all my gauges dim. Looked at my interceptor and saw my battery was at low 9s. Usually in the 13 range. Pulled it back in to the garage cause I didn't want it to die on the street. Let it sit and after about 10 mins it died again. Threw the cables on it again and plugged in my tuner (to switch it from E-85 to E-70 tune - my tuner's recommendation pre-winter). I hadn't looked closely at the SCT before, but he said it was "easy to switch, plug it in and select either E-70 or E-85". Wasn't as straight forward as he said it would be. Got a few questions, please excuse the naivety: Should I have charged the battery instead of jumping it? I usually plug in a charger and let it sit for a couple hours then start it, this was my first time just jumping it. Think I lost my alternator over the winter? All my radio pre-sets were still the ones I programmed pre-winter. (warning: real stupid question) Is there a way the tune will "reset" to default, with my battery disconnected for ~5 months? When the battery was losing voltage it would idle irregularly, and when I plugged in my tuner it was screens I didn't recognize, so I was a bit nervous (and in the 'download tune to car' section it was only "strategy tune", "restore car to factory", and one (maybe two?) other setting...which I can't remember now)...and I just imagined the worse ha. Fortunately it wasn't a severe winter anywhere, and from some comments I feel okay, but from others (the member who's had malfunction two winters now) I get nervous. Please help by answering questions and verifying or correcting any information I posted. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
