[DML] Re: Over revving Auto.



Darren,


You're correct about the electrical surge. One thing that is really bad for
the computer governor is jump starting the car. If you own an auto and your
car won't start because of a dead battery, it is better to either take out
the battery and charge it, swap out the battery (until you can charge the
one that was in it) or replace it depending on what circumstances that you
are in at the time. It is even better to have it towed if necessary than to
jump it off. Jumping it off could send spikes to the computer governor and
can cause premature failure.


Thanks,


Duke
