Hey...my car just started having this problem. New batt and had alt checked today and is fine. Car starts up...runs fine then about 5-6 mins later everything starts getting dimmer untill the car just finely dies, almost like the alt. isnt charging my battery. Everything seems to be in good working order untill it starts loosing juice somewhere...

Anyone else have this problem?? or have an idea on why its doin that?

 

there is a white wire from alternator and it is suppose to connect to positive battery terminal. that was what happened to me before..just like your situation

 

aight. cool thanks, ill go check it out right now!

 

cool and keep me posted...and also make sure alternator belt is tight enough..and we have the same car and swap..

 

which white wire?...thick one or one of the small ones within the plug?...

 

smaller one with the plug..not the green one..

 

that white one is suppost to run straight to the postive battary terminal? seems to go in a big black wire loom with whatever else wires are in there...

yeah we have the same exact engine and it was my mistake..u are right..those two plugs..the black one and green ones connects to a whole bunch of wires with black plastic cover but it should have one thick single wire that has terminal like the pic shown below that i took 5 mins ago....and is your engine harness come with the engine or ?? uncut?? cause mine harness comes with jdm engine and complete uncut...oem b16a sir II harness

uh..its an ex harness uncut. not the jdm harness. yeah weird...mine doesnt have one of those goin to the battery. i take a pic for up, hold up a sec...

 

 

yeah i think u are missing one wire ...are u sure there is no more wire hanging and unconnected under the intake manifold or maybe cut???? cause one thing for sure..your battery is not charged from alternator and your alternator is good...

crazyguy knows his **** about these motors. Looks like you are missing that wire for sure. Also, make sure your battery is good to go after this wire is hooked up. Your battery is probably drained.

 

yeah i'll get under it 2marrow and check around for another wire hangin around. Yeah my battery is on the charger right...brandnew battery too! what if its cut? could i run a wire to the battery from the alternator?...

no.if it is cut..try to extend it with the proper connector and wire...dont just wire it to alternator directly..

 

k, im totally hopin it hangin under there somewhere....nothing should be cut at all. thanks for you help 2nite! check back with me 2marrow, ill post weather i find it or not....thanks again
