Re: motor slipping, 05 precedent
I'm sure it's a whole lot easier to test your battery pack voltage as well as look to see how old your pack really is. If it's the original pack then 5 years is a lot for 4 12v batteries. Look at the negative terminal of one of your batteries, (hopefully they are all the same in type and age,) and see what the first number is. If it's a 5 then they were made in 2005, a 6 then in 2006 and so on. The letter represents the month, A for Jan, B for Feb and so on. My batteries are L8 which means they were made in December of 2008.
So tell us the pack voltage after a complete charge and sitting for several hours as well as the year of your batteries. I would also check all battery leads for being clean and tight as well as the cables going to your motor. Place the Tow/Run switch to Tow and make sure you use a wrench that will not touch 2 terminals at the same time, like a shorty that has a coated handle. |

Re: motor slipping, 05 precedent
If this were a series system I'd agree about the batteries being the problem. IQ cars do not "shutter"... they just don't go when the batteries are dead. Check them none the less though.... If they are originals they're probably shot, but they wont cause it to be jumpy.... not on a Precedent IQ.

Re: motor slipping, 05 precedent
Not really... IQ cars usually either work great, or dont work at all. A loss of voltage through a bad terminal or wire should cause it not to run at all. Normally the solenoid would click, then drop right back out because it cant get enough power to make it go. These cars are very dependent on high voltage when accelerating. They actually require so much voltage to get up to speed that it makes battery indicators on these cars give inaccurate readings all the time.

Ok, I checked all the terminals and they look really good!! No Corrosion at all on the terminals, there is some type of lubricant on the connections I assume to keep the corrosion off. The 3 batteries checked out at 12.90 and the other one was 12.80. Oh, by the way all of the connections are tight as well. |

Re: motor slipping, 05 precedent
Pulling the motor will tell the story.

Re: motor slipping, 05 precedent
Ok, this is what I have. I pulled the motor thanks by the way to scubabud, read AMDnutt's thread about his PQ Motor and got some insight on how to get the motor off correctly. It definitely had a smell to it when I pulled it off. Are there any other signs I may see now that I have it off? Does anyone know the difference in price of a new stock motor from a CC dealer versus PQ?
