HMM.... have your alt. tested. make sure all battery cables are tight, check battery to see if it looks old/leaking. Common sense stuff.

Do they have the fusible link that was a problem in the older models or was that eliminated by that year GBA?

GM had them till about 93. 94-96 didn't have them. Even then I rarely had issues with FL's.

If your battery is dieing with-in 2 minutes, they I would say the battery is no good, a good battery will crank the starter for longer than that.

Hey George, I've noticed that alot here, they ask a question and thats the last you here from them. Unless people post what the fix was for the issue it really doesn't help anyone else.
Guess I didn't understand the post. Some people needed to pay a little more attention in English class I guess.
