Help! Speedo went bezerk and then guages turned off while driving down highway!
Then My car stalled at a light and a stanger had to jumpstart me. Even then the car would run, but my turn signals and guages would not work. I heard a funny sound under the dash, but have checked all the fuses and they seem ok.
I checked the VSS-vehicle speed sensor and it was fine, in place. Car has a b18b swapped into it with I/H/E. -Any help is greatly appreciated. -Edward |

I checked the big fuses under the hood near the firewall. This just suck because I paid $2k for the swap.

Happened to me and the connection to the alternator was loose. There is a nut under a rubber cap on top of the alternator. Make sure the connection is tight. Check the easy stuff first. Check voltage also to see if it's the alternator.

Check the ALTERNATOR

Hey if anyone knows their stuff, it's you Ricey. Hopefully it is just the connection though. I got lucky.

Bright Milano red. Has a fiberglass hood-matching red, Aem short ram intake, hight flow cat, Greddy Power Extreme Exhaust. New AC compressor and monting parts. The chassis has about 107,000 miles, as for the B18b.ls motor, I am unsure of the mileage.
I Have pics if interested. The car looks nice, exhaust sounds good, but, it does have this problem, which seems to be electrical in nature-it may just need a new alternator. -Edward (469) 583-6441 |
