my '90 si wont charge the battery, the positive terminal will get very hot and look like its either smoking or steaming. i have to use a battery pack to start it up. has b20a5 with m/t. could it be a chassis ground or bad main battery wiring?
I would say bad positive battery clamp. If it is steaming it getting hot so it must have a lot of resistance in it. Do some ohm testing on the cables you are looking for about none LOL.
