me and my friedn just finished my ls swap in my 91 dx hatch and when i drive it and at idle the car seems like it wants to turn off and when i drive it , it will bogg down alote until; the car turns off could this all be relative to the alternator ??? thanks

 

someone help me please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bump

 

Well, if you alternator belt fell off that could be a problem.

That's what I got out of your title is that it fell off. If it didn't fall off then check your grounds and your spark plug wire firing order.

 

got any more info?

 

well when we startin the car up ad went for a test drive the car idled real low and at first at high rpms it was good but if it got to idel it would die out ,, and last night i went to take it home frommy friedns and the car just started to die out on me and would go no where , then i noticed my alternator belt was off today somehow , but it was on when right when we took the car for atest drive cause last night my battery light came on in my car

 

yes that is prabably the reason why it is going dead

 

so if i get a new belt and put it on , it would prob fix the problem ,, cause i mean if the belt was on there and boggin still what could cause that , and how would the belt fall /snap off in the first place

 

everything is hooked up right and the timing is good? I did the same swap but I had some vaccum hoses pluged in wrong and it would die at idle

 

as a temporary fix you could tighten up your throttle cable and that should keep your revs up a little bit... put on a new alt belt and do a general tune up on the car(always a good thing on a motor swap)... you might want to check your IACV and make sure everything is good there(and possibly clean it out)... and mess with the idle screw too... good luck bro
