what can I do to make my alternator push more amps? and voltage, my volts average is 13 vdc. its supposed to be around 14.5 correct?

 

14.4 is the kosher thing I think. Kinda like 98.6 F.

Not sure how to make it push more. Try cleaning up all your grounds.

 

I did everything I could, installing grounding kits, new optima battery, if could get an accord or legend alternator to fit, it might be better.. I see some high amperage ones on ebay, but I dont know if its worth it. maybe one of those voltage stabilizer thing will work.

 

volts wont go more than 14.4 unless there is something wrong. there is a voltage regulator that keeps in in check.
what you want is a high amp alternator, aftermarket is the only way.

sometimes, manufacturers install higher amp alternators in the "luxury" model of a car.

Example.

Civic DX may get a 65-70amp alt while the Civic EX gets 85-90.

 

mine stays 13.1 and below, I guess its time to change it then.

 

You might be able to save some cash on a new one if u give urs back as a core.

 

yeah I hope it wont cost too much, maybe I can use one from a acura legend, accord v6 I seen a couple around the strip yards here.

 

i have the same problem but my volts sit at 13.6 but sometimes it falls to around 13.2 and the car starts to misfire... this is a common problem with old cars i guess they lose their ground admittance as time goes.. noway to solve it except getting a higher amp alternator
