Either the Honda salesman sabotaged it, or it's protesting your
unfaithfulness in dumping a bunch of money into another machine.

Subject: Stutter and Low Batt

Just left the stealership and bought the young'un a Honda Fit for
graduation. Still would not trade my van for a brand new Fit, tho.  BUT, on
access road, van died when I came to some traffic.  Started right up, but
hard to get it to idle. Noticed that my main battery is reading 12.14 while
off and was as low as 12.08.  The aux batt is at 13.36. Can someone get me
on the right track to checking why the main battery is so low and why
stalling all of a sudden.  I do have the SurePower 1315 and am monitoring
the charge on the VoltMinder.
I did replace my dizzy last year and eyeballed the timing at that time.  Van
usually idles around 1000. Was fine before the car place, but then... I left
it parked at the grocery for 20 minutes, and still same problem.
Any and all advice is appreciated, but keep it simple to start, duuhhhh.
Thanks.
