is it the alternator, coils, ground wire???
Im having a problem with my 7. she spurts while boosting hard in 2nd and 3rd, my cd player and subs cut out whenever i come to a complete stop(even if it is turned all the way down and paused), and occassionally my battery will just die, seemingly all of a sudden.
I read in a recent search that a guy with a fd had the same issues and had to rewire a bad connection in his alternator harness.
i REPLACED THE BATTERY AND IT STOPPED FOR A FEW DAYS. I replaced the alternator and it stopped for a two weeks. then i disconnected my amp and removed the entire wire and it went away.(i then attributed it to a grounded positive wire). then I rewired the deck, gauges and amp and it was fine for two weeks. lights on, subs fully blasting, gauges on, everything. no prob....until last night i went to the liquor store and within one min my battery was drained and wouldnt start. on the way home the deck would cut out everythime i came to a complete stop.
I experimented last night to see what the prob was. diconnected the amp and cap and tested. she started ok today but still spurts when boosting hard in 2nd and 3rd. im taking it to the shop mon if i dont resolve it tomorrow
Any tips, advice PLEAESE!!!!!!!!!
