So was noticing I have less voltage while the car is running. I am use to seeing 13/14 volts as the pretty much normal. I have a fairly new marchel alternator and this year I am seeing 13v on the high side. Now I do have more electrical items, wide band o2, mega squirt, and active exhaust. Regulator going bad? Pictured in upper left. Hmm maybe I have them on the wrong pins? Might have messed that up?

All consumers off ? Belt too loose ?
I can't describe how it's done but I understand there is a way to test output of an alternator before the VR. Maybe someone can chime in ? |
