adreano17 Posted July 12, 2012 Report Posted July 12, 2012 When I'm at idle, my charging light comes on, and my voltmeter reads around 11.2/8 (the engine sounds like it is about to repeatedly stall out). But when I am over 1500, it goes away and starts charging at 13.7. Me and Matt were guessing it was slipping somewhere- so I went and got a gatorback serpentine belt. Thought it would fix it, but to no avail. All the pullys look like they are spinning at the same speed. The overdrive pulley looks fast as well. My thing is what could it be? And if it is slipping, where? What can I do to fix? pleas help. i'm beyond frustrated....

adreano17 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Report Posted July 12, 2012 Also, the tension is pretty tight, I'm not trying to strain any bearings....

bassface Posted July 13, 2012 Report Posted July 13, 2012 Is there a belt dressing for serpentine belts to increase the stickyness of the belt? Quote
adreano17 Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Posted July 13, 2012 I was suggested not to do this on an aluminum pulley.

LoudBimmer Posted July 14, 2012 Report Posted July 14, 2012 I got similar problem now also. When at idle, it charges at 13.8. When I rev up to 2k rpm it would go up to 13.9, but as soon as it drops back to idle, voltage would drop to ~11v and climb back to 13.8. I'm running singer alternator. Quote

deathcards Posted July 15, 2012 Report Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) have you left the battery unhooked for a while to reset the computer is there any wires you may have accidently unhooked also check fuses have you checked to see if the battery is still good/got it tested Edited July 15, 2012 by deathcards Quote skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps
