my airpump is rapidly engaging/ disengaging when my car is just idling. while that is happening the add coolant, charge battery, and oil pressure lights are flickering. what could be the problem? thanks

alternator or maybe a short

 

i drove from L.A. to San Luis Obispo, 200 miles and my battery didn't die. It seems it goes away when the car is warmed up. Any other ideas?

 

Put a volt meter on it and see what it's doing with the engine off, engine running (different rpm's) and with a full load. Are you running a stock pulley system or an under drive setup. what was the idle at when this was happening, is the idle higher or lower when the car's warmed up? I wouldn't think a 200 mile trip would tax a good battery very much (unless it was a night drive)

 

yes i drove at night. idle is normal. at least, it has acted the same way since i have had the car. can i buy a volt meter at an auto store? was going to replace the fuse this evening to see if that would help. I have checked all grounds visible to me so maybe damage to the wires on the harness? thanks
