    I'm definitely a little above average in height so I'll have to see how I fit when I sit in one lol. Sat in a tiburon and that thing was pretty small.

    I was using high mileage castrol I believe it was. Every time I had it changed I had the filter changed with it. It needed to be topped up every so often because the neck of the oil spout thing was loose so I would get some slight leakage. I would definitely like to know what happened too. I...

    I had it towed to the shop. Engine wouldn't crank by hand. I'm not too sure why it seized, I kept the oil topped up.

    2002-2015 cause of death; engine seizure. Lest we forget.

    Walmart also didn't carry the battery I needed.

    Yeah, wasn't about to shell out 250 for a battery anyways. After getting the tests back I had the guy charge it and try again. The second test measured 612 CAA right after the charge. Took it home and no dice..

    Awesome. Just went to walmart and had it tested. Said dead cell - replace battery. I'm going to probably grab the battery that you suggested and try that. Hopefully it's available in Canada

    Can't remove 2002 LS battery!

    The bottom bolt of the hold down clamp (the really long one) will not move no matter what I do. Could I be doing something wrong?

    I'm having trouble removing the bolt on the bottom of the hold down clamp, it won't budge. Any tips?

    Ok. Makes sense. I will be taking the battery in today to test it. Before I do that, could it be a fuse that's causing the problem? I want to rule out anything cheap before I take it in because I only work part time so the tow to the shop is gonna kill me.

    Oh okay. I'm relatively new to forums in general so thanks for the tips.

    Yeah I apologize for the new thread. I just figured the first one would be dead by now and no one would see it. I appreciate the replies anyways and I think I'll probably take the battery to a Canadian Tire to have it load tested.

    No, I haven't had it load tested yet. It's been tough for me to get around without my car. If it was the battery then that wouldn't explain the horrible sound I heard before it died out though, right?
