Hi all,
Ive recently finished rebuilding my RB20DET and its back in the car, all wired up as before it was removed.
I put the battery on charge overnight as it had been sat in the boot for about 3-4 weeks during the rebuild.
Whats happening is it will crank over and start and it will run fine, but if i shut it off and try to restart the starter will just click as if the battery is dead. When i got back home after work, I thought id try and start it again, (this is after it wouldn't restart in the morning and had been sat for the day), to my surprise it did straight away, but it did the same as before, it wouldn't restart.
Ive gone over all the wiring for the starter and alternator, and all seems good. The alternator is putting out charge as when the engine is running the multimeter reads around 14.1V from the battery.
Cheers,
Dave
