Default New problems with zc again ;/

everything was koo... on freeway... going 65... boom downshift 3rd going 85... battery light starts flickering like crazy i get to the night racs and it does it every time a few seconds after my car starts.. i tell my friend **** it and i head home cause im freaked.. all the battery cables r fine and stuff.. heres the wierd thing when im on the gas or revving it... the lgiht doesnt come on.. only sometimes.. but when theres no gas... or just coasting or completly stopped the light comes on full blast -_- only thing i can think of is a loose alternator wire/cable cause i replaced one 2-3 weeks ago... maybe i need a longer one .. maybe when i pull my race hard the engine snaps it, who knows eh?

you could maybe check out how well your motor is grounded. more specifically, check out the ground cable/connection between the transmission and the negative terminal on your battery. Mine was pretty corroded internally, it looked ok, but when i bent the insulated part of the cable a bit, greenish whitish powder came out. so i replaced it (which solved some starting problems i was having).

my battery light also fades in when i get off the throttle, but i think its because my idle is too low, due to a vaccuum leak i have yet to find... hopefully tomorrow.
