Ok i installed a new alternator and a manual boost controller and now im having strange problems.
Problem 1- My car will not start on its own, I jumped the car let it run for 30 minutes, shut it off, still would start on its on. Took teh battery to advance they tested the battery and charged it said it was fine, brought it back home hooked it up, car wouldnt start. I double checked alternator connection, scraped the terminals a little bit made sure everythign was tight , bam car started up. let car warm up, will come abck to htis probelm but first
Problem 2 arose- If I rev it at all above about 2500, the car then drops idle all the way till it stalls out. I had to keep the car revved in order to drive it at all, oushed in the clutch and the car stalled out, was able to start the car again drove about 1/2 a mile and went to turn around, car died again from idleing out, now
Back to problem 1, car wouldnt start again. Double checked all connections , still would not start, Got a jump and drove the car home.
ANy input or signifacnt informatin would be fantastic , after a long day of rain and trying to get this piece back on teh road i am just all funned out
