re: 5KCSTQ -- Jump Starting

["Ryan Gemmill" <rig7881@hotmail.com>]

They are pretty easy to find. The positive is just between the right (pass. 
side) headlamp and in front of the air filter box. The negative is simply a 
ground coming off the top of the engine. Very front and center. It is only a 
piece of metal with a small hole in it.

I'm not sure if the turbo on that car would complicate things in the area of 
the positive terminal. Though no doubt it is somewhat accesible.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

in response to:
Quatts:

I ran into a big ol' hassle yesterday when I went to drive my 5KCSTQ.

It hadn't been drive daily for a while, so the battery was pretty weak - and 
it wouldn't turn over.

I vaguely remember someone mentioning that there were jump-start terminals 
somewhere on the engine.  I looked everywhere of them, but couldn't locate 
them.  I figured maybe they were somewhere under the eurolights -- those 
lights/relays/wires take up a bunch o space.

Can someone tell me where these terminals are so I don't have to jump start 
my back seat and have some shmuck ask me what the hell I'm doin'?

TIA
