Starting Issues
Alternators new, Batterys New, Wirings Alright, however my car only works well when it constantly runs,
my schedules involves working everyday but wed when i dont use my car, i have to jump it to start it. So is something draining my battery??? I got told it could be my apex turbo timer. Also when i come to idling at a red light, if my car is cold the voltage drops dramatically and i have to keep it revving. Any ideas would be helpfull.:dance: |
i had a similar problem...first when i got the alarm installed my starter wasn't receiving power, when i took it back to the dude he said he didnt link the alarm to the starter which was true...i ended puttin a switch button that was directly connected to the starter...now the fact that your battery maybe getting draining is something you have to check with a voltage meter...with that you could monitor if it drops when the car is off...my problem was that the pulley was too big because you have to consider gear ratios..the bigger the pulley the less revolutions it makes...i had to get a really small pulley to make enough energy to keep the battery on a optimum range...as a rule of thumb if your voltage reads at 11 or lower on idle and jumps only to 11.5 or 12V the max when revving, then it's the pulley...after i changed my pulley to a smaller(2 belt sizes smaller) my idle voltage jumped to 12V and to 13.9 on revving. i also increased my idle to 1000rpm to be on the safe side

Ah i see, you know what i think it might just be that, i do remember when i installed the starter the belt was really tight to fit it right, but i lowered it and fit it and i totally forgot to bring it up and tighten it. If that doesnt work ill go get a smaller belt and let you know my results. Thanks aton:bouncy:
And raising the idle? How can i properly do that? |
