z_boi 0 Report post ID: #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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mudge 1 Report post ID: #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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
