Well I did a search on alternator problems and everyone seems to have a slightly different one.

I am worried about mine. I dont seem to have and trouble driving, but at idle, if I tap on the brakes rapidly I can almost make the car die. My idle is a little jumpy between 650 and 600.

I tried turning on different electronic on but they did not have the same effect as the brake lights (possibly because they suck more power) New battery so I dont think that is causing the problem..

Any idea would be great. My belts dont seem to be too tight and I messed with the BAC control.. I'll check into that.

excuse any spelling...im tired.

Crap wiring? Have you cleaned the BAC?

same thing was happening to me when my battery started to die. Ever since i changed my battery it hasn't happened, and that has been a while. you might want to check into that.


edit: and yes i did see you wrote that you put a new battery in.... just trying to say maybe the battery has a few loose cells.

Thanks I will check that out.

change your brake booster to engine vaccuum hose, it has a hole in it.

mine does the same thing. and the voltage drops a bit too when my foot is on the pedal.

hmm booster hose eh. wouldn't that just be a constant vac leak though?
