weird cel
I was digging through my pocket while I have my car key on engine off and accidentally stomped the gas pedal. The cel illuminated and when I took my foot off, the light went out. Of course I did it again. What does it mean? some type of wot detector?

Well I swapped the alternator and still does it. I did find out that when I have my headlights on at idle even if its hot outside or the car is hot, the charging voltage is at 13.8v and it just stays there which is good.

is it a nippendenso alt? I have had many do this to me; but it would fluctuate between 14.2 and 12.25. Mitsubishi ALT's like to run right from what I have seen. I would check the regulator in the ALT; that's normally the first thing affected by heat; that and the diode array.... Bad reg's in ALT's ...

Bad alternator?
Ive been having some weird charging system problems lately and I'm running out of ideas to solve it. Thought some of you guys could give me some inputs.
