Re: crazy electrical problem

Alternators will do weird things. The internal windings are probably shot.

Just replace the alternator unless you want to take it to a shop to get it professionally tested before spending money on parts.

then replace the under hood fuse box.. im sure sinister has one if you can manage to convince him to leave the PC and actually get it (i've tried to buy stuff SO MANY times from him, never hear back from him).

Re: crazy electrical problem

tonight i drove around a little carefully on my uberdata basemap (got off xenocron site/ sohc_mshue) and it still does this, thought maybe it was my tune cause my idle is messed up too. does the ecu handle this ELD or would it be the chip/tune? can anything bad happen if its disabled?
