Was driving to work the other day and my battery light popped on, I thought I was just a loose cable but as I was driving home that night the car died, let it sit for a liittle and tried starting it and it wouldn't it would turn over but not start got a jump and tried driving it and it just starts to slowly die again and won't start again, kept giving it jumps till I got it home and pushed it down the bottom of my street, the battery and terminals were brand new before I bought the car but it sat once the swap was done so im thinking its the alternator....any input it would very helpful..and where can I get an alternator for ?

 

correct....your alternator has died on you.. if its d series i have 2 i could sell you...

 

My uncle usually tests the alternator by turning on the car, and disconnecting the battery if it shut off it was usually the alternator. If it's not that it might be a loose ground.

 

you can take it to auto zone or wherever and they can usually test the alt. for free. i just replaced mine about 2 days ago and i would say this is what it is.

 

It's the alternator, open up your phone book and call some shops. Could just be the brushes. Its roughly 90 bucks for a refurbished alternator.

 

get your trusty DVOM
battery voltage with car off should be no less than 12.6v thats a healthy battery
with the car running voltage should be around 14v
if not your best bet is a faulty alternator

 

Testing the alternator doesn't always do the job. Mine was tested 3 times and passed everytime. They had me convienced it was either my battery or my wiring. Took it to a battery/alternator shop; 15 minutes later I have my alternator back in my hands and it turned out to be the brushes.

 

Thanks a lot guys and its a b series ...either way im gunna pull it and run it up to autozone and have it checked out..but I know autozone doesn't have parts for a 89 b16 ef so I need to know if you guys know any susbstitutes I can do like a 91 gsr alternator or something..I was thinking bout just pulling a bunch of obd0 b series alternators from the store nd conparing the plug caz I used to work at an autozone

 

On another note for suspension I have skunk2 springs in the back for the ef and there's ebay coilovers in the front and when I lower the front the axles click when driving and there's brand new axles from the swap..any input?
