[QUOTE="blowbyyou, post: 10870470, member: 102572"] Wow you are right! How did you ever guess?? Considering the car has maybe 30 miles on it with the TT kit, and the TT kit came off the OP TT cobra and this cobra is his other cobra that he just purchased back so if the seals were blown then the OP would have been the one that sold the TT kit with blown seals, so why would he want it back? The battery light came on, the OP was told and knows that even after a charge the battery light was still on. Car dies, OP replaces battery it runs good until it drains the battery again....just common sense that the most likely thing would be the alternator not charging the battery when the car is running. The only thing that changed mechanically since the OP sold this cobra and then bought it back was an install of the TT kit that came off his 2nd cobra. Unless he replaced the alternator before when he owned it, that was not touched. The Zex kit was removed by the person he sold it to. But I forget that you know me so well and that you know I would be the one to go and screw someone else over. What is funny is that the car was not even for sale, the OP saw a post on here that I posted pictures of the car and got in contact with me and my brother and OP is the one that made the offer to buy the car back. Otherwise it would still be my brothers car. But thanks again for trying. OP already had appt to get the car into a shop and has oil resistors, fuel system, and new tires on order before he even purchased the car. Guess they will have to trace the Zex kit wires and see if that is shorting out somewhere, but not really sure how that would kill batteries. The alternator is not charging the battery, and all the symptoms the OP stated are common of a bad alternator. [/QUOTE]
