Author Topic: Cobra Problems 0Cobra3 ¯ Member # 2901 posted                              I was driving the 03 today and the stock radio just stopped. I'm thinking no big deal because I wanted a better one anyway. So I make the turn onto Hilltop and kick the blower on just to accelerate. I am talking maybe 4-5 lbs of boost. The thing try to die. Everytime the blower kicked on I lost all power from the engine. Without the blower it runs decent but nothing great. Has this happened to anyone? -------------------- It'll be fine....just run it.

The blower drives the alt. soooo....hmmm dunno just throwin stuff out there! -------------------- 2003 Redfire "AED" Cobra R.I.P Posts: 3481 | From: Nor-Cal | Registered: Oct 2001  |  : 89foxstang ¯ Member # 5908 posted                              Sounds like it could be a low voltage problem, and when you go up in rpms it doesnt have the power to fire the injectors and or fire the air fuel mixture off?? id go to kragen or something to check the battery and or charging system first.

Replaced the battery and I should have tested the alternator. Went out tonight and the same thing happened so I am guessing that it is the alternator. When this happened on other cars it felt totally different. Thanks for everything. -------------------- It'll be fine....just run it.
