[Guest ON3GO]

hey guys.. my ranger is having a rough idle, and when you give it some gas when not in gear you see the volt meter (battery) go up abit.

im trying to figure this out.. is my battery dieing? alternator, any ideas?

My friends ranger was idling ok but his volt meter went up when you gave it some gas, as well as the lights became brighter. We hooked up a tester and noticed low voltage on his battery and then noticed all problems went away once engine was at about 1500rpm and alternator was doing the work. May want to take your battery into a local store and get it tested. In canada we have canadian tire and they will test it for free, I dont know what you have down in texas for anything that way, but I would phone around and see.
