So here is my setup.
All new grounds and power lines.
New altenator.
New battery w/terminals.
Old belt. 8 years old
Old tensioner. 8 years old
After rebuilding the whole engine (that sat for three years)
The car was giving massive whine / chatter up front like a bad pully or something. I would spray it with some belt dressing and everything would go away for a few min then come back.
But the voltage was pegged perfect on R in normal.
I installed new headlights roxim or something like that. Which required me tapping into power from the fog light cabels, i belive. Everything was done perfectly and the head lights work great.
Now it is also colder out here in NJ being winter and all.
My sympoms now only exist when the car is warmed up (with headlights on or off). The voltage metter drops down to NO in normal and my temp guage spikes upward, not fullying but it shows that its 50 deg hotter than it really is. Voltage pops back to normal then the temp guage goes back down to a normal range.
When the car is on and cold it runs fine with the headlights on or off, makes no difference.
I have changed the battery terminals with brass instead of lead, (lead wasn't really locking on)
I have a new belt waiting to be installed this weekend.
Any other suggestions on what to look for with this issue? Please help
