I'm about to take my 97 GST to a auto electric shop on the 27th and figured I'd ask the forums and see if someone would be able to guide me to a fix before then. My problem is the tach kind of stalls and jumps when getting up to speed, and when idling the voltages reads lower than expected on link causing cluster lights to sometimes appear to be off(the bulbs that light up the section of the cluster for the 5.5k rpm and redline). The interior and exterior lights will dim and then brighten a bit, hell you can hear the heater fans start to "slow down" at a stop light. Aside from the Tach jumping, my electrical problem goes away while driving and above 1,300-1,500 rpms. I've read and tried a lot of the things I've read on these forums, as well as facebook.
The car drives fine, Link shows the proper RPM readings(tach jumps when i get on it a bit), and the voltage reads 14.3ish while driving. Where the problems happen is when idling. I've read multiple threads already regarding this problem. I replaced the alternators multiple times. Started with remans then after 2 of them i went to the duralast gold 75amp, then to a duralast gold 90amp from the late 90s gen galant but swapped the pulley to match the one for the GST. Did the big 3 upgrade and did a couple redundant grounds in the engine bay. Even tried a power cable from the alternator straight to the battery but the problem still happens. Have put in a new alternator relay from mitsupartshop as well as a new alternator fuse.
As of now I'm just looking for some insight. This is my first post asking for some help before i shell out some money to have a shop deal with it so i can move onto the fun things.
