Electrical probs in'88 90 Quatro

[Avi Meron]

Do not pull this stunt!

Just check the battery while the engine is running, should be above 13Volts!
(with NO ACC on!)
See my recent post regarding this issue,

Take care,
Avi

Hi All,

I just acquired a 1988 90 Quarto without getting any
history.  If driven every day it is fine.  If left un
driven for 48+ hours it will not start without a jump.
 I was told to disconnect one of the battery cables
while the car is running; if the engine does not shut
off then the alternator is OK and the problem is the
battery.  Is this true?  And Is this a common
electrical problem with the 90?

Thanks.
Alex
