Why when is 1000 MCA which is still around 750 CCA just like a lot on other batteries. Have a look at the spec. "Cold Start Marine Cranking Amps":

thanks mates...i will check all i can ...but how to to check fuel sedimenter??...for nrgserv..she wont die off when i press accelarator as soon as i put the auto gear to reverse....but the problem is i cant press accelarator when there is BIGFOOT park right behind me can i ..??...so it happens if i didnt press it...especially when there is some resistance such as a bump,uphill,stone just right behind her.....why is that ..??...n it happens too (few times not always) while theres is nothing behind her...sometimes....when put to D also happens...as if low power input or something i have no idea......

so if it happens i assume low power fm battery (thats what i thought)...so i swicth off A/C ,lights,cd player..n start her again...sometimes she start immediately ..sometimes it takes a while..like 3 to 5 mins to start....what kind of disease is this mates..???.....

Hi NG, I can respond about the fuel sedimenter but to be honest I did not understand the rest of your post, at all.

The fuel sedimenter is a device in the fuel system for separating water and debris from the fuel.

This device is located on the inside of the chassis, towards the rear of the car on the right hand side, just in front of the rear wheel. It looks like a grey filter housing.

To remove the bowl for cleaning you will need an 1mm ring spanner to undo the bowl retaining bolt situated on the top of the assembly. Remove the bolt then remove the bowl and clean it. Be ready for a bit of lose diesel.

You'll need an 11mm ring spanner to remove it mate not a 1mm and if you're wondering what it looks like...........



mine was cutting out on me the other day and this is exactly what was wrong with it, cleaned it out put it back, sorted. 10 min job.
