I found a new Ford alternator 100 amp for $105 one year warrenty. Regarding the pullies...they were on the car when I bought it there is also an electric fan with adj. thermostat. It wouldn't die when coming to a stop UNTIL I put on the 76mm MAF and used the heater or ac. So we'll see what happends with the 100 amp. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>99gt-UJSTLST</b> <br /><small>Member # 584</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,9,23,16,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> hmmm if you changed the MAF and thats when the problems started then i would swap out the MAF and see if it goes away you might have a bad MAF <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>07</b> <br /><small>Member # 1973</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,9,24,8,43,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 99gt-UJSTLST:<br /><strong>hmmm if you changed the MAF and thats when the problems started then i would swap out the MAF and see if it goes away you might have a bad MAF</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that out last night. Put the stock shit back on and drove around a while and was fine. Then turned on the heater full blast came to a stop....died. Tried the same thing with ac on...died. I wonder if maybe even the electric fan is set to come on to often thus causing the alternator to have a hard time keeping up with the power supply needed. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
