So, I installed an Exedy clutch in my 1989 convertible with 105,000 miles; installed all new hydraulics from Mazdatrix; installed a Racing Beat Header, Bonez cat, and Racing Beat cat back; installed new 02 sensor from Rotary performance; installed new engine mounts from Mazdatrix; installed Racing Beat upper and lower radiator hoses and new heater hoses; filled up with new transmission fluid, coolant and oil change.

I got her back on her feet. She started right up. I took her for a drive at 1:00 this morning. She's a little louder than I'd like, but I'm hoping it will grow on me. The clutch hooks up so well that I keep inadvertently spinning the tire.

Here's the bad news. When she starts up, she revs to 3500 and then dies. All the warning lights are on. The alternator/water pump belt broke. There is a black wire grounded to the block at the top of the bell housing that looks like it should have something plugged into it, but I can't find a mate.

I'd hate to have to take it to a shop after doing so much. Little help?

All warning lights was signaling an alt failure (caused from the belt failure). The initial rev is likely the AWS.

just in case

The ground goes to the firewall btw. The other posts explain the rest.

Check for a vacuum leak as a possible cause for it dying.
