Not sure if this may be related (since my engine is completely different) but i have to rev up the engine to above 4k ish rpm once to get the alternator to kick in and produce enough current to charge the battery.
If i just turn on the car and let it idle, it never gets that initial kick and just sits at 12V. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

So I just corrected a gauge issue but while doing that I tested the D+ lead vs the battery and there is a 1 volt drop between the 2. Hmm bad connection maybe? I will have to look around for that but so odd. Could that be the bulb itself with that much resistance? |
