READ UPDATE PAGE 4
Here is exactly what happened. First, the work i did on my car today. -changed oil -added some more transmission fluid -plugged the CC back in -re wired three prosport gauges (wired them into the power and ground from the stereo) Ok now here is the problem that occured. First the RPM gague died. then i tried to roll the windows down and those didn't work neither did the sunroof. then after driving about 10 miles the voltage got so low (i have a voltage gauge) that i pulled over. Slowly she went down lower and lower. then i tried to drive across the street into a parking lot to get off the road. The car was at about 9 volts. Once i stopped in the lot she started smoking. I immediatly shut her off (feering fire) and checked under the hood. Coolant was spilling from the throttle body area, pinpointed it to the coolant line funning into the throttle body.. anywhoo any ideas? I had a similiar problem three weeks ago, where the stock 3s alt died. I replaced it with a 5s alt and now this happened. I have to get back to base by monday at 1830.. or 6:30 for you civilian folk while i waited for the tow truck i got really cold so i popped the hood and sat on the top mount intercooler it kept my butt plenty warm This post has been edited by jcbass7: May 28, 2007 - 2:00 PM |

BUMP.. i got a ride back home to work on the car.. gonna try to finish it today..
here is what ive got the three wires plugging into the alternator are as follows -yellow -white -black/red the yellow and white are putting out 11.4 volts when the car is running and the black/red 0.09 volts. The alt when tested from Bpost to ground is putting out 11.4 IDEAS? EDIT: checked the two thick white wires going to the alt and one of them was a little loose in its connection, but fixed it and still nothing. the two white wires about 6 inches back in the harness (when disconnected from the alt) are putting out 12.4 which is what im getting on the battery right now. (with car off) This post has been edited by jcbass7: Mar 3, 2007 - 10:45 AM |
