I just installed a 100Amp Alt. because when I use more than one accessory the car will die. I thought 100amps would be more than enough for pullies,cd player,electric fan, etc. what else could it be? Battary? Pissin me off at night I can't have defrost and the headlights on at the same time, she'll die! [Mad]

Thsoe electric fans pull major amps. Try putting a smaller pully on the alternator.

Get a 130 amp. alt,(Performance Distributors) and make sure you have the correct size alt.pulley. Check to see if the battery is still good and is holding the charge. You can go to Kragen for a free load test on the battery. [Big Grin] Good luck!!

it really sounds like you just need to bump the idle up a little bit to me
