As some of you may remember, a little while back, I posted how I couldn't figure out the alternator. Well, the story goes like this. I replaced my old alternator, because sometimes the car would die when stepping on the brakes acting like it wasn't charging correctly and the battery would slowly die overnight. So, I got a new alternator and it tested GOOD before it even left the parts store. Well, I got it home and hooked it up all correctly (went over it numerous times) and it wouldn't charge. I was pretty fed up at this point. So someone pointed out that usually when an alternator goes out it takes the voltage regulator with it. Bingo!
I replaced the voltage regulator today and the alternator is charging perfect just like it should! I was pretty happy.
But, I have been experiencing a sputtering problem for quite some time (mostly when the engine is cold) when I hold the throttle in one steady position. I thought that the old plugs were fouled, so I replaced them and it didn't help any. I have tried teaking the carb a little with no luck. So I'm going to drive it a bit and see if it maybe comes out of it. If anyone knows what could be wrong I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!
