Ok so I decided to take my Integra today(been parked for a month or so)......... I get in my car after work and start it up and notice my (1) battery light is on, I shut it down check the belt and its good. So i get back in start it up again.... still on, (2)rev it up a little and it goes away. Get off the freeway and make my turn and a new SI hits me up. We go at it and my(3) car feels like it has no power, still hits VTEC, but no power.park at the hobby store and roll up windows, (4)windows roll up very slow. Get back in car after my little shopping trip and (5)car wont crank. So i call a buddy and get a jump start and have him fallow me home. As we drive my (6)radio wont turn on at all. when parking at home (7)windows roll up super super slow, I had to do one at a time.


As a little more insight a month or so ago my car was going through a phase where the radio would only work if i had the driver window at a certain level. didn't really bother me at the time because i like listening to my car most of the time n-e ways

sorry for shitty grammar/punctuation but I wasn't to concerned with that at the moment
thanks in advance for n-e help

 

Wth...? You just drove a car thats been parked for a good month... just like that? You might want to do a full check on the car. Like a basic tune-up and what not. I don't think a month would do that much damage... but what was the prior condition of the car before it sat for a month?

 

sounds like your alternator.

 

Alt.

car ran perfect before it was parked. trust that i did check all the fluids and i cranked it with the distributor unplugged prior to starting it(to get oil and water pumping)

I dont think its the alt. because after i was jumped it didnt have n-e prob staying on, and since the battery light didn't come back on. though the window thing throws me off.

Probably a dead *** battery that the alternator is having a hard time keeping charged up.

 

N-E body else, thanks guys

 

grab a dvom and start testing btw with the car started does the window go up faster? as opposed to car off.

 

sorry, forgot to mention that the car was running and i was reeving at 3k and they still were barley moving

alt. can do crazy things mine was gounding out while running and killing my main relay once it took forever to find that out, it problay the alt.

 

if not the alt. check your grounds. poor grounds will lead to a lack of performance on all of your electrical parts. I've had similar problems with leaving a car sit all summer in a high humidity climate.

 

One way to tell that a battery is taking a supreme ****, is when it won't charge up. You can charge it over and over again, and it will disappoint you. Try another battery, such as one from one of your friends just to see.

Like I said, ultra shitty battery = won't charge up.

I hope this helps!

 

thanks alot guys, i'm back from the river now so its time me to figure this **** out

 

I can vouch for the alternator doing weird stuff. One time my alternator went bad, and it caused my oil pressure light to flash continuously while the car was running, and then the battery light to come ON after I turned the car OFF.

Replaced the alternator and all was fine.
