OK. I just went out to try jumpstarting it again. This time, I gave it
some gas and it started. As long as I keep the RPM's up above 1500, it
will stay running, but if I let it drop below that level, it will die. I
kept it at 2000 for 3-4 minutes and it died when I let off. Is this
consistent or does it point elsewhere?
On the cat convertor, I'll be sure to check on the warranty. I know it's
not in my used 3month/3000 mile warranty as I've read that thing
carefully. Is the overall warranty transferrable as I'm the 2nd owner?
