New problem.........
Today I was cruising around and some of my warning lamps (oil,coolant, charging and abs) slowly began to illuminate together. When I step on the gas they would dim to nothing. At idle they would brighten to full illumination again. I checked under the hood and can hear some kind of sensor clicking. Anyone have answers for this?

to me it sounds like your generator is on the verge of giving up
|
Ditto.
|
Generator? You mean alternator?
|
It sounds like the clicking noise is coming from the idle speed control sensor. Maybe that is another symptom?

Yup ^
|
gotcha! Thanks.Will do tomorrow.
|
it will not need to be removed to be tested. check the belt tension also.
|
Just use a volt meter with the car running, it should measure 14.5 to 14.8 volts. With the car off you should read 12.5 to 12.8 on the battery terminals. To fully test the battery and charging system, you do need the tester hooked up.

ALternator only putting out 10.8A.. Rebuilt it.. Ticking sound was a loosely connected relief solenoid. Everything taken care of. Thanks for everone's insight G....
