Hi Guys, I have a 1989 CRX with an obd0 B16, with a Obd1 conversion. I've driven it for 2 years swapped, and recently it had a starting problem. I jump-started it and tested the current at the battery while running, and it slowly climbed from 17.8 to 18.04 volts. Is this a need for a new alternator, or possible fuse problem, etc?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like the voltage regulator inside the alternator went kaput, I had this problem a few weeks ago and it spiked to 25 volts which was not very nice to my wiring.

 

I agree, your alternator is no bueno. Get that thing out of there BEFORE you start burning up wires and blowing fuses.

 

change it out asap, when mine went bad one night i just happend to have my high beams on and they both blew out...
you could get it rebuilt also that might be a little cheaper, it was only about 100 to have mine redone and that included, stator,brushes,rectifier,regulator and bearings. good deal i thought

driving home with just yellow fogs sucks
