Dad gum it...

I just replaced my 3vze - and it is running like a swiss watch. I take it out for it's first drive... No problem.

Then I drive it a bit more - put on the A/C and a couple of miles later - 3 warning lights fire up --- the A/T Temperature light - The Battery Light - and the Brake LIght ---

When I gun the engine they go out. then come back on --- any ideas???

 

Alternator. Check voltage at idle and 2500rpm with no accesories on you sould get about 14 volts. Aslo check you belt it may be loose.
Cheers,

Thanks alot... I think that the Alternator is the culprit.

The interior Charging gauge looks good. But, the lights go out when reved over 2500.

If I unplug the 3 wire connector - the light goes out. But it is still charging.

This is a Rebuilt Alternator that I put in when I rebuilt the engine - I think it is bad. Will replace tomorrow.

I'll let you all know the outcome
