Well after a nice slow full charge all seems well. I think my negative batt terminal connector is what's making all this happen. I'll get another one.

alternator of course put out varying voltage, but the battery has stayed charged so far, around 13.6 off.

full a/c + lights + radio + 3 hr roadtrip must of drained it, especially if the neg cable was loose.

I believe the 90-91 sedan and hatch bumper lights are the same and 88-89 hatch/sedan bumper lights are the same too. I remember I pulled a set of oem 88-89 bumper lights from a sedan and they fit right on the 88-89 hatch bumper just fine. I know this from past experience.

Makes sense. Also, an undercharged battery will cause low alternator output.

anyone ever had any ECT(engine coolant temp) sensor problem before? I did a b16 swap in my ef, obd0 wiring, pr3 stock ecu, and its throwing the code 6. The thing is before i had an Ls never had this problem. I bought the b16 bare so i had to buy the sensor brand new(not the plug) Just today i tried the wiring, still not working. How is this supposed to be wired? one to the ecu and one ground? am i correct or wrong?
