Hey guys,

I've noticed this problem jsut yesterday, I dont know if its really a problem but here ti goes:

Sometimes at idle or when I drive I notice the faces gages lights kind of flickering, not on and off, but pulsating more like it, and then I see my boost gage light does the same, my fuel pump makes a different noise whenever the pulasting happens and even if I turn the dome lights on theyre affectred by it too . what could it be?

There is always some twit who won't bother to follow the thread or the original posters descriptions. He made no mention of a whine yet condemn my post and then become insulting under the guise that your tenor was stellar.

Why do arses upon failing to comperhend basics decide to raise the level of insults and then decide they make the rules around here. I don't need to take an alternator anywhere to diagnose it's problems but you can't be bothered to search.

You crossed the line in your 1st, post and I am sure you are incapable of falling on your proverbial sword. You cannot steam roll over me... Proverbial selective reading failed to note holding a Master Mechanic's license among my life's work which makes me one of 28,000 in the US. What, you think I can't understand Lattice Theory, you think I can't put a piece of metal to a grind stone and tell you it's metalurgy because I twisted wrenches which you again chose to demean. You liken me to a parrot, a 9 year old and who knows what else... Your tail does not wag this dog.

I understand the original poster perfectly.. It's not that hard..

Something in his electrical system is ####ed up and he needs it fixed. Period.

I have read through some of your posts on this site and you WAY over-complicate every problem. If you are going to give suggestions such as "Check the B+ lead on the alternator" and "check the field circuit" it is your RESPONSIBILITY to post HOW to check these items. Some of us may know what those things are but alot of people do not. OR at least offer to e-mail them instructions on how to do it. Otherwise, to me and others, you are nothing but a guy regurgitating shit he found on a 5 minute google search.

Nobody cares about how smart you are. People come here looking for answers. Not a bunch of jargon from some dude that is trying to impress us underlings with his $10 words.

What part of counterproductive has your stinking attitude done for anyone reading this thread. What I saw was a repeat of what others before had already posted including my own. It is clear you have not looked at enough schematics nor the back of many alternators. While it may be true that using a search engine may provide information on any particular subject I don't need to use it, you want to spoil the posters thread and flex your ego.

Mine was to teach and explain for him and anyone else reading this thread. So now you have elected to set yourself up as an authority on how I should present a chain of thoughts to conform to your standards. Man if that isn't pompous projection with delusions I don't know me own arse from a hole in the ground.

I thought your previous posts to establish yourself as _the_ authority figure, now I either am a parrot gathering my ideas from some website using a search engine or maybe the word experience which you elected to take issue with did apply.

Until you came along there was nothing demonstrating a command of words other than to communicate ideas and supporting arguments why I arrived at a certain valid conclusion.

Now you would have us believe that you are some sort of engineer, perhaps you could explain in $1 words what effect an impressed A/C circuit from his alternator would do to his CD player which he mentioned functioned correctly. You are bent on trying to screw with me and that is a no no. I earned and paid my dues a long time ago, I know bad manners and phony people and you are just like all the rest. I tried to be civil and yet you fail to realize you have your head stuck up your ass so far you need a little window where your belly button was.

When someone tells you that you have crossed the line perhaps that wasn't obvious enough. No more of your garbage, is that clear enough... you have a beef with me take it to admin for I certainly have a beef with you and will.
