okay well heres my current problem and i want to know if they're related or not, i still haven't done anything to fix this due to lack of funds, but i have a problem starting the car, it sounds like it has barely any juice and the tach jumps when tryin to start.
now today i went out and hooked a battery charger up to my battery first and charged it up to diagnose probably a bad alternator since my battery is dying after every time it runs.
I charge the battery, starts right up with no hesitation, but now i notice a whining noise coming from either the distributor or somewhere near it...i know its been there before but i only really noticed it after i adjusted my idle down to where it should be. could this be a result of not having that much juice on my charging system while it runs? or its my distributor on the verge of detonation as well? :(
