[QUOTE="bk12321, post: 2804982, member: 564687"] Ok, so recently I noticed the voltage on my dash being weird. When you first turn the car on, it will read high 13's, and then about 5 minutes into the drive it will drop down VERY close to 13. Also, a couple days ago I was driving back to school and my car's rpms were jumping at slow speeds (sub 15 mph), and the car would die. It started back up just fine and would run good at high speeds, but when i slowed down again it would start to die. When i have the air conditioning on the car idles fine but when it's off the rpms jump up and down. Alternator problem im assuming? Im no car mechanic. I thought the battery was dieing at first because of the voltage reading on the dash, but now I'm thinking the alternator isnt charging the battery sufficiently. Also, I would test the alternator but no tools... so just give your best guess and i'll be on my way to Advance in the next week or so [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] thanks.
