would really hot days contribute to my car dying when coming to a stop? All day yesterday 50% of the time when I came to a stop my car would die. The other 50% of the time it wanted to die but I kept my toe in it. Do I need a better alt?

You need a fuel pump.

What's your "Volt" gauge reading when it dies?...

I think you may need that big gauge wire kit from your 3G to your battery...Your electric fan maybe suckin up the juice on a hot day...

I doubt it would be a leak in your CAI, becuase your car would most likely idle rough as well...


BTW~I have a fuel pressure guage you can borrow and make sure you're not running outta gas, you've had that experience before...lol [Razz]

Well it doesn't idle bad and the volts are VERY low they always have been....also yes my electric fan was on almost non stop that day. I forgot about the wire upgrade for the 3g alt. I'll look into buying one asap and see if that works.

didn't find any leaks under the hood and I think the fuel pump works fine...doesn't seem like its a fuel issue
