Charge Light
Hey guys.. I tried to find a proper thread to post this in, I hope this is acceptable.. 1993 1.6, MS2, mazdaspeed cams, forged junk, last night I'm driving, still in the process of learning to tune with megasquirt (f@cking loving it) I capture a data log, and pull to a safe spot to look at things, and I load a new tune.. engine cuts off as always, but when I try to start it, very very slow crank and doesn't start. Luckily in TN we have plenty of hills, so I roll start and drive home, and on the short drive home I have dim gauge lights, all lights flicker when braking, and a charge light comes on and intensifies in brightness as my RPM's raise, I get home, turn it off and as I predicted, no start and ALL lights go black when I try to start, checked and cleaned terminals, brought my battery to work today to charge and test, tested good, has anyone else had this exact issue? Thinking I'm gonna be buying a new alternator, just wanted a second opinion.. The charge light used to only come on in high R's (6k+) but now comes on at 2500, thanks in advance fellas.
