I drove home early so I could continue moving out of my other office and work on the car. As I feared the bumpy brick road on the way to downtown caused the car to lose power several times.

I discovered that any combination of pushing the battery around worked the first two times. However later I tried pulling on the bundle of wires near the battery and adjacent to the nearest power block/fuse junction and that worked too.

To know when the connection was good I left the key turned on in the ignition and jiggled the battery /cables/ 3-fuse blocks. I could hear an arcing somewhere on the engine, perhaps the coil or other critical link/juncture. When the connection is good the beeping from under the glove box can be heard, I then turn the key and the engine comes back to life until the next big pothole (I learned not to slam the hood back down - will cause it to stop).

The battery connections are tight, but the fuse block area is rusted.

I need to trace this, right now in the daylight, cheers.
