hi

i have this problem. My fd car was runing fine til 2 days ago the car seems to lose electrical power quicly. I mean if i turn off the car and open flash light for 5 minutes or less then try to start it up again, the car sound almost dying just like when there's no or really low battery power at all. also, the car start but the car bit shaky, still run but really no power especially on the low RPM.

what could be the problem? electrical system?

thanks

I had the same issue a while back, alternator was the issue. Just get it tested and might as well test the batt while your at it.

 

what cause the bad alternator? could be engine cleanser?

i notice that there's some oil stain around my turbo housing, lower side of UIM ( just above down pipe), and may be a little on coolant cap. may be my turbo seal is onl the way gone.

could it be some oil spill on alternator?

 

but when the car start, it runs fine but low power at low RPM and i can feel vibration. is there anyway i can test the alternator?

thanks
