Rocket Scientist can't get good Search results, trying to find 'slow cranking' post 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Ryan M. on  Fri Sep 28 06:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

This is not where I expected my search to end up today. I remember seeing some months ago a post about a guy who's 740 was starting okay, but it would crank real slow on startup. His battery was fine. He eventually discovered that he needed to attach negative lead somewhere else, and it would crank at normal speed to start. The post was so special, so noteworthy, it got a red star, bound for the archives. I thought, "no problem, I'll just look that up later for my car, which does the same thing."

For the fix, I've been trying to search for this *&^%$#@ post for the last 30 minutes, to no effect. Perhaps I'm not using the search tool correctly. I type in the words "slow crank start" and use the "ALL words" option, 20 posts per page, and search in ALL areas of the post. No matches. "Slow crank" also produces no matches. "Slow start" brings up just one match, about a V-8 conversion. Hmmm.

So, 1.) anybody know what this guy found out, where to attach the negative lead to? or 2.) is there a better way to use the search tool to find what I'm looking for?

Thanks in advance for any input.
