I've been working on this 2g for a few years now. I'll add some photos but essentially this car has been gutted. No longer using anything factory really. Just started the car a couple days ago and got it to idle fully warmed up today pretty well. I logged the battery voltage since I assumed my aftermarket gauge was faulty. Appears voltage is dropping and the alternator is not charging the Optima red top.
The only wire connection I have going to the alternator is a power cable. The cable goes to a fuse block then to a Quickcar 3 terminal battery disconnect and then to my battery.
I assumed that the alternator would be supplying voltage automatically via the accessory belt. Is one of the wires in the factory harness required to be pinned to the ecu to tell the alternator to "turn on"?
This is a factory 2g alternator that's been relocated. (Dont mind the wiring, work in progress!) Thanks
