HVYCHEVY Grease Monkey Registered: 07/07/02 Posts: 1 Loc: BENTON, ARKANSAS	before vacation I got the wires (positive and negative) hooked up backwards on the batt. trying to get a C.D. out. Now I can not get the engine to turn over fast enough to get it started. I have had the batt. checked, exchanged starter and sol. , put a new postive batt. cable on and have replaced the wires that goes from the batt. to the switch and the wire from the batt. to the alter. does anyone have a clue of what I should check next. Thanks for your help, may God bless the U.S.A.
