Last week i installed my news tansmission, everything was great for a while so i took the car later that afternoon to a friends house about 20 minutes away. About halfway over there the radio started flickering then turned off. As i got closer and closer to her house i noticed my egt gauge was starting to go crazy. I got even closer and it threw a CEL and the car started bogging really bad ect. Well i let it sit at ther house and when i tried to leave the car went dead on me. i datalogged it right there and it said like 7.1 battery volts.
Brought the battery home and charged it, got the car barely home. the next day i went and i got a new alternator, installled it and everything was great. had no problems at all. On wendsday i took the car out that night to the taco cabanna meet. halfway there the radio turned off, the gauges started going crazy again. got the car back home and the next day i went to go get the battery checked. battery tested PERFECT!!!!!
i charged the battery and the car started up, ran great. everything has been fine until today when i experienced the same sypmtoms as before on my way to school.
I dont know what the #### ius going on, i have checked all connections and fuses. everything checks out fine. i even unhooked all my stereo equipment just in case. I dont know whats going on. Any suggestions?
