z_boi Posted March 28, 2003 Share #1 Posted March 28, 2003 Hi guys, I dont know what my problem is but i was hoping you guys can tell me. my voltage meter isnt very steady and goes up and down alot. There were a few times where my car didnt even crank. when i turn the key to the on position, the voltage meter went all the way down. but then i checked my battery clamps and they were kinda lose then i tightened them and i haven had the starting problem yet.Im not sure if that was it, but my meter is still jumping around. Could it the VR or the resenator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudge Posted March 28, 2003 Share #2 Posted March 28, 2003 Resonation is a sound thing, I think you mean regulator. The voltage should raise when you raise the RPMs past a certain point, probably around 1000-1500 or so is good enough to test.Is your battery dying on you after driving with lights on or ? What are the symptoms you have that you are troubleshooting the alternator in other words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z_boi Posted March 29, 2003 Author Share #3 Posted March 29, 2003 the car runs fine. although i am finding that theres a lot needed to be fixed. and the rpms do not affect the voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
