computer fried!!!

a while ago... I burnt the computer in my '92 half way across the board. To make a long story short... Changed the starter and of course the computer... ran fine for a while... and the one day it died. i tried to crank it and i heard the solenoid enguage and then it would die... wouldn't crank at all. I checked the battery with a meter... 13 volts ...checked the solenoid with the meter....and it was enguaged!!! only problem was... the keys were in my pocket!!!! i couldn't figure it until i realized that every time i took the neg batt post terminal off... the solenoid would reset! i checked my neg batt cable and guess what??? it was totally green...all the way down...and i couldn't tell just by looking at it... the post on the battery was clean...Now its running like a champ again! I just want you to know that i never lost hope in her eventhough she is a full figured gas consuming swine! 351w...but i love it!
