Needed to replace battery which would start car but cranked slowly. (Was a top-of-the line Battery, less than two years old but checked out to be defective). Noticed positive battery cable. The larger cable of the two positive cables was frayed with a number of broken wires perhaps half of them. Will try to replace with a universal connector if cable will reach ok.
Quesiton.
Could these broken wires impact the cars computer?? Certainly there was not as much current flowing through as there would be with all of the cable intact. Car shut down on freeway at 70 mph. Coasted to a stop...said a few words, cranked the engine and it ran fine and drove home normally.
CEL is on but has been on for some time with car running as it should and starting ok etc. ONly difference is a slower idle.
Engine codes are:
P 1260
P 1261
P 1251
Any suggestions to the above would be most apprciated. Have cleaned MAM which did not help but am considering replacing.
Thanks
