Okay... I'm drivong home and the abs light turns on. I think "ok sh*t happens whatever" Not 5 seconds later every idiot light on the dash turns on and I smell a sweetish burning scent. Then about a hundred yds from my house all electronics in the car died but the motor keeps running until about 50yds from my drive when it sputters and the motor quits.
I thought ok... maybe the battery (& or alternator) quit so I checked and it showed 4.2volts. Replaced the battery and low and behold I connect the terminals and a slight whisp of smoke starts coming out. I started the car and it seemed a little weaker and idled down way quicker than usual... then the smoke started getting more and more as it started so I shut her off right when it started getting bad. It kept smoking until I disconnected the terminals...
She's a ported cobra with 35k miles my guess is a bad short because of the smoke not stopping until the batt disconnected.
Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks
