upzaw2000 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 the car is an 89 CRX dx automatic tranny 1.5 liter since i got the alternator its been acting funny by causing the lights in the and outside the car to constantly flicker... the less the engine revs up the slower the flicker... higher the engine revs up the faster everything flickers... i originally thought that maybe there was some sort of loop in my wiring causing issues but i removed all the after market wiring (except of course the external regulator) and made it bone stock and it is still doing it.... If i connect more batteries the engine revs way down causing the flickering to be more severe... the alternator is making a whistling noise. i have the big 3 done on good grounds... any help? is the alty just muffed?

upzaw2000 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 bad diodes? maybe but i dont know... never seen a situation with an alty still running at all.. or above 12v with bad diodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 if it whines, it probably have seen better days.. time to get the H/O alt.. it already is a H/O alt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upzaw2000 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 it already is a H/O alt yes sir... i went out of my way to go the safe route and just do 200 amps since i know the 250-300 amps slip so much... and sometimes the body of the engine compartment needs a little elbow greese loving to fit them in lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
