yeah, but my car is acting up agian. I thought perhaps my belts were loose. just tested the alternator, its good. i have a s/c so its alittle different in terms of tightening it up.
stock, i should pry the alternator back towards the firewall. with the s/c it doesn't allow me to do this. I actually have to lean it forwards so that the belt from the s/c to the alternator is tight. then there is a tensioner (under the alternator pushing up) to tighten/loosen up the belt for the crank to the alternator.
now that i've replaced the alternator this is what's happening:
-after I just replace it, evertyhing was bright and good.
-after work, interior lights are dimmer, as the car warms up and I get up to 3000 rpms, everything is bright agian.
-my brother drove the car to the store, my deck dies, lights get dim agian. when he comes back though, everything is all good agian.
-I start the car, the car starts. Take off the negative, car dies.
-started my car, kept it running with highbeams on, heat on 1, deck on....after 10 mins of running, the lights begin to die and the car dies.
-go out, start the car, car won't start. wait 5 mins, shut everything off, car starts up fine. turn the lights on, rpms drop, lights begin to die, car is about to die...shut off the lights, car keeps running normally.
I don't know what the hell is going on.
