wtf is wrong with my car?

[2MuchVenom]

i just put a 2.76 pulley with all the idlers and my car keeps dying on me. i went through 2 batteries in less then 24 hrs.has anyone experienced this? idk whats causing this to happen?

 

[dougwg]

did Lid get you tuned?

have you talked with him yet about this?

 

[JAX99GRNSVT]

your alt. pulley might be binding slipping ....not enough tension etc. etc. but the fact that your batts are dying definitely suggests an alternator problem....and brother check everything else first cause those babies aint cheap

 

[2MuchVenom]

lidio did tune it and he said its prob my alternator has onyone else had this prob?

 

[JAX99GRNSVT]

i'm a turbo guy...so no....but like i said the cances of your alternator eating it right after a pulley swap is slim.....possible though...but as stated before-slippage and tension first

yes its kind of common for some reason for the alternator to fail on 03 cobra's

what i mean is your not the first

 

[2MuchVenom]

i forgot to mention the fuse for my alternator is blown too

 

[JAX99GRNSVT]

da da da.......did you replace it.....if so....the pulley might be spinning to fast and creating an overvoltage.....that's bad.....did you just get a blower pulley or an alt pulley too

 

[2MuchVenom]

no alternator pulley, just 2.76 and 3 100mm idlers, 1 92mm idle

 

[JAX99GRNSVT]

porb an overvoltage....fuse is replaced.... i assume....you could meter between the fuse posts and check that way....but....BE CAREFUL...DC will make you dance like no other

upper pulleys DON NOT EFFECT ALT. SPEED! :bash:

 

[Jpjr]

if his fuse is blown that's the first thing to replace..

bad alt will kill a good bat.

so its possible that i still may have a good alternator, but because the fuse was blown, it wasnt charging the batt?

 

[motorcityterminator]

If i were you, 2much venom, I'd swap out that fuse. :coolman:

 

[JAX99GRNSVT]

wow,,,, yeah the fuse my bust on the pulley speed thing....just using some common sense....badly using common sense...but yeah that fuse closes the loop which completes your battery charging circuit.....you kinda need that

 

[JAX99GRNSVT]

and dougwg i wasn't sure if he changed the alt pulley read the question b4 you go trying to own somone next time....but yeah bro change that fuse

WTF are you doing in this forum anyway? oke:

 

[JAX99GRNSVT]

saw post said WTF is wrong with my car? so i looked and offered my opinion, and having worked on more than a few terminators having an ASE cert and running my own performance .....no reason

 

[JP]

Fuses don't blow for no reason.
You need to find out why it failed.
