electrical problems...HELP
well my SC is acting up...
I put on early heat excahngers and a dansk muffler...and I never had time to get the CO adjusted...and the O2 sensor is plugged in but is not screwed into the HE's so I used to have a really bad idle at stop lights...and my car stinks cuz I think it is running too rich... I adjusted the idle screw to 900RPM... but sometimes (usually cold start) the idle is erratic...which I expect but then sometimes my tach starts swinging wildly...my guages and light dim-brighten-dim-brighten and my radio dies?? is my alternator shot (it is a brand new...1 year old...replacement) and the alt light does not come on... when I rev the car the lights get steady and the radio comes back on.... any idea? thanks MJ |

Check voltages.
Mine did this too at idle. I finally checked it and found I was getting ~17 volts at idle.... I decided to check it, after my amp blew out...
