Hello all,
I have a 95 Trans Am that is having a charging problem. Here is what happens. When I start the car and the engine is cold, I get about 14-15 volts. Once I start driving, when I push in the clutch and come to a stop, I am only indicating about 10 volts, and durring normal driving I'm barely above 13. I didn't realize the problem until one night when I had to run all the fog lights (including the rear, I live in England) and had the HVAC fan at max. When I got home, the car stalled and died when I pulled into the driveway. I've had the battery checked and charged and all was good, and I have also put a 200 amp alternator on it. I do have a smaller underdrive pulley, but I have had that for 2 years and never had this problem. At night my lights dim big time when I have to stop. I have a car alarm with an internal battery that I thought might be the problem but don't know. I thought about pulling non-critical fuses and starting the car to see if I can isolate the faulty system. Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jesse
