not my alternator! moar plez halp please.
 

---starting a new thread because it's appropriate.

I changed out my alternator thinking that it was fucked. I was wrong. It's not.

Here's what's going on:

-My battery is fine and healthy- 12v measured at the terminals
-At the alternator I see about the same- 11v or so
-In the hydra readout (should be the same for any ECU) I see about 11
-When I start it up, voltage drops down to around 10.8. If I turn the lights on, it drops immediately to about 10.4.
-changing the "gain" in the voltage regulation map doesn't do shit.

This shit used to work.

Any ideas of what to check now?

I am not sure where the alternator control wires end up. I can only see them ending up in the big fat harness at the transmission tunnel entrance.

NICE TITLE JACK ASS :p

WTF is this stupid plug? The wire is yellow and red. Please tell me that it is the dick sucker that makes my car not go.

There is a single wire that goes to your alternator and one that goes to your oil pressure sensor (at least on the 97s)... it could be either one of those. Or was it to the starter... I can't remember.

What year do you have?

NB alternator has 3 wires, two of them in a plug that goes back to the hydra/something, and one is the battery cable, that plug probably goes to the Oil pressure gauge.

edit I meant alternator

FUCK ME IN BOTH EARS AND CALL ME SANTA I UNFUCKED IT

Thoise two wires do just go to hydra and I didnt change shit regarding hydra except for the map. So I figured fuck you map you're fucked.

And it was the map. Jeremy must have sent me a new map for a self-regulating alternator. The input for the alternator map was set to TPS, not voltage.

Suck a cock! It works! Balls on your face! All hail the king baby!

Nice. Might want to make sure all the inputs are setup then, "input follower" and all that bullshit.

This thread is entertain.

Hmm, where do you find the inputs? I see the outputs in Settings 1.

BTW who set up your Hydra? Did you ever try the VE autotune? Any success?

03. I guess it was for the factory oil pressure gauge. I have an aftermarket one now. That doesn't work.

What's funny is that the factory oil pressure gauge arm still swings to twelve noon whenever I start the car just as it did when it was plugged in ha ha. BTW the NB oil pressure gauge is a dummy gauge out of the box.

boy are these titles with homo shit in them getting old.

some people are viewing from work you know

This is a farm forum.

did you just complain about stuff with homo shit in it? what site am I on?

I wouldn't complain if it didn't interfere with my browsing at work:giggle:

Kinda awkward when your boss walks up to you and one of the tabs in the browser says "COCK IN MY ASS FELLATIO HOMOFUCK ---- PROBE" :giggle:

your boss needs to loosen up.

I suggest COCK IN HIS ASS FELLATIO HOMOFUCK ---- PROBE

settings then the I/O tab

Mine is set up as aux1 being input follower and Aux2 is input follower feedback

VE autotune? My shit was setup by FM, but I have changed a few things around, nothing special though.

Ahh you are on 2.5.

+1 on I don't read threads with offensive titles because I'm at work. I skipped over this thread twice when the name was jacked up, and I'm just now looking at it.

fine, next tiem i will put the title in Azerbaijani

Shit, I'm still on 2.17
