Signs of a bad alt? Or starter

[Hondakiller]

Rite it might be able to hold eight power. Here this is what u should do change your altnator! Then put your batt. Back in and and try to start the car and if it start good. Let the car sit over night and see if it will hold a charge if not most likely the batt. Is no good as well. If u like take the batt. Down to advanced or auto zone what u prefer and have them test both batt. And altnator. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I actually let the car sit and it still has power to turn on lights and all

When u go to start the car what does it do? Does it make a clicking sound, or does all the light dim down? And did u try having the car running and disconnect the batt. If it stays running the altnator is fine.

Lights dim , back then it would click 60% of the time.

Ok so charge up the batt. And put it back in the car and see if it will start and if so leave the car running and take off + side. If the car shits off the altnator is bad. And there is a chance that the batt. Is no good as well it might charge up to start the car a few times and then lose charge. So charge up the batt. And do what I said and get back to me and let me know what if it starts for u

Went to Kragen, Starter passed, ALT did not, something about Ripple being messed up. High was way to high, and low was way to high.
