Hello, i have a few issues with my car.
I just got it out of winter storage yesterday and drove it a bit. I just finished up a 3G alternator swap and the alternator went out a few miles after driving it. (I made a thread about Ebay alternators in talk)
Anyway, i noticed when i was getting on it a bit, i could hear it pinging pretty bad. I think it was pinging anyway. I figured it could be 1 of 4 things.
1) Low alternator voltage wont run the fuel pump and ignition system correctly, which could cause it.
2) There is currently no interior in the car so i thought i was just hearing noises because there is no carpet etc.
3) I just brought it out of storage so maybe the gas went bad in it.
4) A combination of all of these things.
The car never detonated before i parked it this winter.
What do you guys think?
thanks!
Also, how am i supposed to check timing with an aftermarket timing pointer? The pointer isnt even in the same spot as the stock one, so it wont give accurate readings.
