I replaced the old ALT and the Distributor componets at the same time. I got a pointless Dist system.
The first Alternator I bought from Pep Boys, and it turned out to be bad. So I exchanged it for another.
Current Symptoms:
When I start the car life is great
10 minutes into driving, the ALT light flashes
If I stop and idle, it stops. Drive again, and it starts again
I can repeat this over and over. The first 10 minutes of every drive is perfect.
Any thoughts on what might be the problem?
Also, I bought a multi meter, and I can't figure out how to use it. It is the Actron $19 thing:
What settings should I use? where to I put the points, where should the needle go? Where should the knob be? the instructions were in Spanish.
