Alrite i just purchased a 1990 240 sx and when i drove it home it started to stutter around 4k rpms then as i drove further the stutter lowerd lower in the rpm range. When i got home and let it idle and check connections it died and wouldnt start again. I then jumped the car and it ran fine with cables on and bad w/o cables. I then removed my negative battery cable and it died with the car running. So i figure its the altenator. By The Way my battery light is on inside the cab. So i go thru gettin it off and gettin another altenator and putting it on. I start the car with a fresh battery and it runs fine. Fine for along time but the battery light is blinking now inside the cab, slowly. Then i checked the battery voltage at idle and it read 11.95 when i rev'd the enine to 2k it read low 10's.

When i have the high beams on and turn on the a.c. there is no power drain on the lights. But its only reading 11.95 volts at idle and 10's at 2k rpm.

I am just wondering if any one has herd of this or experienced it themselves and that any help would be greatly appreciated since this is my car to go to work in. lol

If you need to know any questions feel free to ask and i will respond when i go to work or when i get off of work (i live in eastern time zone)


thanx
