Check your battery and ground connections.

thanks mike! my battery's new from Triple A, but i think they're really not the right size for the car since it looks a little small for the actual case (where the battery should be). i'm not sure if you're familiar with it, but the battery has a 35-H part number, RC 90, CCAOF600 - that's what i saw printed on the battery itself. is this really too small for this car?

i was thinking about cleaning the ground so when i saw your reply, i'm glad that it seems i'm on the right track. but is there any other ground that i should check aside from that of the battery?

i really appreciate your help.
