ok well today i left the car in the grass to take pics for yall using my comp cam through the window.. its ghetto but damnit yall wanted pics..
anyhow
well i go look inside and the temp is like 3/4s way up so i figure fuck it needs coolant..
anyhow..
then i start to drive the car.. and the friggin car wants to die..
i think my alternator is seriously bad.. reason being
yesterday at wal mart .. my car didnt wanna start.. so i got it push started..
i got a battery at discount auto parts.. everything was fine except the batter light never went off.. i mean i resetted the ecu and all.. nothing..
ok so i was fine with that.. but today..
i drove it around the block.. and the temp needle went down to nromal.. so i was like fine..
then i park it in my garage.. and turn on the ac real quick to see what effect it would have.. the car dies..
i let the car glide backwards and got it push started by myself.. in reverse :flip:
anyhow.. would there be a problem with the ac... or is it bcuz the battery is near dead?
so its my friggin alternator im assuming ? what do u guys thing
by the way when i turn on the ac.. and it dies the PGM-Fi like comes on .. thats normal right
so sad.. 3g didnt last me a week without problems
but i guess thats the fun in it.. and thats why u guys(including me :wave: ) become attached to these cars..
well any help in this prob?
edit:
ok .. another thing i found out that i forgot to post..
the car is making lil pup pup sounds from the exhaust.. its a firing miss right? i need new spark plugs dont i?
another thing.. i cant rev past 5k anymore.. it would stop there.. so its either in the alternator or spark plugs tell me im close lol?
