i own a 2000 mustang that cranks 9 out of 10 times. when it doesn't start, it cranks for a second, then the starter starts clicking, just like when you have a dead battery. a jump later and it cranks fine. im not sure if im having a charging problem or not. i tested the battery and it tested fine. i tested the alternator in the car and was putting out about double the amperage it is supposed to so i tore it out and brought it into autozone so they could do some other test on it. it tested perfectly fine out of the car. the battery is 4 months old and never gave me a problem.
it started about a week after i put my underdrive pulleys on. 2 pulleys, water pump and crank, 42% reduction. i don't think its my pulleys because, like i said, the alternator is still charging the battery, sometimes.
it baffled me and the guys at autozone. all im doing now is carrying jumper cables and a portable jump starter with me until i can figure out what the hell the problem is. any suggestions would be appreciated.
