hey guys,
Yesterday, while being at my friends house, I went to go get myself a nice new retop battery (cause ive always wanted one), once i put the battery in , the car started and it was running as if it was low on power, so I let it run for 10 mins or so and thought maybe the alternator needed to charge the battery. I get back and its still ran the same. I would press on the brake pedal and the rpms would drop. So I went and disconnected the battery terminal which the mpi fuse and the other 2 fuses sit on, car went dead. I was like WTF WTF ! my alternator which has only 4 month has just taken a shit on me? I check the turbo timer and it tells me that my new battery is running at 12.0 volts. Well, off to autozone we went and exchanged for a new alternator. this time it had a mitsubishi symbol on it
. I was too tired yesterday to put this one in and it was arougd 10pm (we got the alternator at 9:58, 2 mins before autozone closed) that ive decided just to drive home on the battery and changed the alternator today monring. As I drove home, everytime I would pres son teh brake pedal the headlamps and all the lights inside the car would quickly dim to blank and reaaper. Meaning, when i pressed the pedal, the lights flickered only once. and this happened everytime I pressed the brake pedal. during the 25-30 miles drive home the battery voltage dropped .3, thus to 11.7 accoding to the turbo timer. So today I got at it and changed the alternator to my new one. started the car up and the same shit happened. WTF WTF WTF was the look on my face, i checked the alternator fuses the batter fuses , I checked every damn fuse frantically trying to find the source of the problem. Now, I think the battery may be a defect because the new alternator didnt charge it for shit, it stays at the same voltage, so I am off to autozone in a couple mins to trade it in for a new redtop. If this new battery doesnt fix it, I do not know what to do, someone help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
