Tried researching this and can't really find an answer.

My alternator is going, and I believe that is part of what is causing my idle issue, I have done a complete tune up and am now at checking for boost leak and the IAC, BISS screw etc, I finally got the ECU Plus that was in the car working and can now get my car to idle pretty steady around 900-1000 with a bit of tuning, it's running better and misfires less often (6 bolt swap), it will stall out while driving about once each trip and occasionally idle rough. Last night I noticed that with my headlights on the idle drops to 700-800 then jumps to 900-1000 with the headlights off. The brake, battery, and anti-lock lights have been staying on.

In general, I need to know if a 1g or 2g alternator would work best, since it's a 6 bolt from a 1g but the computer and wiring is still 2g, just need some advice, thanks!

2g or 96-98 galant alternator will be better and plug right in, no wiring changes needed.
 
Wow definitely didn't see that one, sorry but thanks for the quick responses guys! Will try to find a 96-98 Galant, if I plan on eventually running an amp etc, would that be fine or would I need more, I.E a performance alternator etc?

Found that answer ^ in the other thread as well, thanks again guys
