alternator problems Ectune relate?

[pullig]

I have a 95 honda prelude with Jdm h22a .. Currently running Ectune. Im having a problem with my alternator going out on me ... Which i dunno if its coincidental or if the program is causing my problem... The first alternator that went out it was a few years old which it Probably just went out due to old age.. The second one i picked up at a parts store and 2 weeks later the same thing happened... I had it tested it was outputting only 9-10 volts.. I have ELD disabled and Alternator control disabled .. Is there any chance that could have caused my alternators to fail? Also i just tried to open ectune and i get this error message Contact Ectune ([email protected]) with MSGID 004H Soon as i click ok its exits out of ectune completely ... I have it updated and everything to 2.3R4 pro ostrich version any help is greatly appreciated thanks

I believe that if you disable the eld, you're making your alternator work harder than it should. That's what I've been told, not too sure how true it is...................

Yeah I Thought disabling eld. Caused the alt to output max volts all the time.

Wich is standard for some EDM alternator's wich dont have alt-control and ELD.

yes, no ELD in canada (for my chassis anyways) let me guess, your \"new\" alternator was either made in china or a bosch reman from mexico??

It was a reman from advance auto parts. Worldwide is the name brand I just thought it was weird because before I had disabled those things I had a working altErnator for 2 years plus. Then it went out so I got another which was the reman. Unit. And it failed the same way in two weeks. The guy at the parts store said those alternators have a 1% fail rate according to him. Maybe I was in that 1%. Lol
