My LM-1 kept giving me a low voltage error and I was like WTF ---- you, you piece of ----! ------- work! and then I calmed down. My cig lighter puts out like 12.06 volts when the car is running, so I decided that the power adapter wires were too long because they were like 300 feet long so I cut them to a reasonable length and soldered them back up. And I was still like WTF!! all that for like .01 volts? son of a bitch! Then, I made a cable with little clips to clip right on the battery and a cigarette lighter adapter I had sitting around. Now, 12.21 volts while running. Better, and the LM-1 actually worked then, but is this normal? I'm used to seeing like 13+ volts on a running car. Maybe the alternator is **** up, but the battery never goes dead and everything lights up OK. Do Hondas usually run at lower voltage?

no it should be 13.8volts. get the charging system checked.

idiot-stick

what he said. I think your alternator could be on the way out.

nonvtec

14.4 would be optimal, anything above 13.5 or so is alright...

GenLx

supposed to be ~14.4, go to schucks, they do free battery and alternator testing and they can tell you whats up with it.

I dont think he wants to go to schucks :P

Terry, you need to raise your launch limiter. The burnout you did at my work was weak sauce.

This is more along the lines of what the tire shop boys are used to seeing....

OK, I'll set it at 9000, then maybe my fucked up, shitty-***, blew after 200 miles, pile of T3 might have a chance to spool up. Thanks a ------- lot, down2turbo on eBay. bad bad bad bearings. Someone sell me a .42/.48 60 trim that isn't ruined please.
