rustorbust Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Need a little help? When my z is running and i pull the battery cable off the motor dies. Now i thought that meant that the alternator isnt doing its job. When i check the volts at the alternator while it is running it shows like 14.3 (which is good) and when i check the battery terminals while they are on the battery and it is running it shows like 14.1 ( which is good). I just thought that when u take the cable off its suspose to stay running from what the alternator is putting out. James B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffp Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 most of the auto alternators will not supply enough current to operate the system at idle. so give it a littl gas and get it to about 1500 or so and try it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
