    What if it was setup for a 460cc battery and not the 600cc heavy duty. Would there be settings that need changing to use larger and also alternator settings to suit?

    Heya all found out today that you can reprogram the alternator on ve's to output a higher output, going to cost 300 but will allow 15v charging and should fix the problem with big amps killing the batterys

    Serious problem

    Could possibly be the fuel pump, had similar problem on my ve just cranking over and no start. They have an intank fuel pump and no filter to clean inline like older cars, so when you get the tank low they pickup crap and cant just be cleaned easy. Last one i got car started instantly and fixed...
