ok this radom problem just started and it got me thinkin. On my 88lx 5.0 The darn thing wont hold a charge at all. On top of that it will run with the batt. disconnected, so that means the alternater is working right. But with the batt. disconnected or connected, when I drive around the alt. guage goes into the red when i step on the gas, and the damn thing try to die alot. Something is drawing alot of power, enough to make the CD play shut off, and cause the motor to shut off for a sec and the go again. its freakin werid! any thoughts anybody???

ok so ontop of what I've already said, I found out today that when I turn to the left it charges normal, and to the right or going straight it just dumps into the red. the sterio and radar detector shut off for a sec, and the ECU turns off and loses power at the same time. this is so freakin werid. I check all the harness of burn marks or melted wires, and came up with nothing.
