91' loyale man Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Okay this is a hard one to explain! bear with me please. I have recently been having problems with my idle, whenever the car idle's high the battery goes out and the car dies. Before the car was only doing this when I turned the wheel all the way to the left or the right and all the red indicater lights would go on then the battery gauge whould read a lower voltage. Im thinking it possibly could be the alternater but it seems to be working fine or even a faulty battery. I recently change the alt/power steering belt thinking it would help but to no avail, any pointers. THe check engine light will also go on when the car is stoped everyonce in a while and the rpm's will go from 900 to 1000 very quickly(the car is 91 loyale).

Ross Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Have the diode bridge in the alternator checked by an auto electrician - alternating current in your electrical system can do some weird things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
