Default Battry drain problem

OK the car is a 96 del sol 5speed recently converted the throttle body to y7 from y8


ok so Im getting 37.5milla amp draw

So far I have pulled every relay and fuse under the hood and dash including the main relay 1 at a time and none changed it


the throttle body change I completely snipped the whole modification out to see if that would change anything Nope just more soldering fun for later.



when I jumped the car I was getting 12.5v and it slowly increased up to almost 13v the alternator is 2years old and has never given me a problem as of yet But Im gonna go disconnect that to


anyone got some Ideas or somthing


found out next time this happens disconnect the alternator first it was a bad alternator

37 mA drain is normal.

Is you battery losing charge? Have you tested the alternator?
