ok my car is toast here are the symptoms: blew up my alternator, and shorted out a wiring harness, also drained my battery. i took care of replacing my battery new alternator and new wiring harness.
and now for the weird s h i t : after wiring all of it back up and making sure everything was good to go, i started my car and it took a few cranks t get it on, and it only was running for like 15 seconds.
THEN i thought it was just trying to warm up, so i took it down the street and it sputtered and died when i stomped on the gas and tried to give it a run for the money. and it spuddered again and died. but it will start back up every time i start it.
wtf is my problem? i have another carb that im thinking about putting in my car just to make sure its not the carb. i was also told to make sure when my car is running, the battery is clocked in @ about 14 volts and 12 when off. what about the alternator? what is it when running and not running?
