ok im not sure which one is busted but i'm thinking the alternator. last night came from a new year's party and i started my car. all of a sudden the battery light came on, which was weird cause the car was already running and it should've been charging while the car was on. so i went to my gf's house and slept over. this morning i started my car , battery light was on yet again. then i went inside to let my car warm up.. i went back out after 10 minutes and my car was dead. i found it weir again cause the car was running and the battery shouldve been charging. i tried to start the car again but no cranking or anything. but when i get a boost from a battery pack the car starts up no problem. so do you guys think it's the alternator? thanks in advance for the input

It comes on when the alternator produces less than 10v. It should actually be renamed the alternator light, as thats what its really for. So if your car is running, and the alternator light is on, then you need a new alternator or something happened to your wiring connection. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

People might not be able to see what a lit up version of an alternator is though. Lol even I might be like "What the hell is that?" depending on how that light might be depicted.
But yes. Alt is the culprit. The 3s alt should fit, but a "high output" alt you could use also, is the alt from the 2.2l Camry as it has the same engine. Camry has higher output alt for a few reasons, but it'd work. |
