Yeah, if I can get 14 at idle, I don't need a new alternator. It was typical autozoo tech who was just telling me what the computer said.


The car starts every morning if I start and run it every day. If I leave it for two days (which I am doing now) It usually won't start. I have dropped the "car off" amp draw down to .13 amps. I have now left it for two days and I'm going to see what my battery volts are after two days and then see if it cranks. If I try to start it tomorrow morning and it doesn't start...its straight to autozoo for a new battery (hopefully a nice warranty covered battery).
