So I just bought this 86 325 and have been fixing stuff and getting it ready to get inspected. So far, every things been working fine. I drove it home from the place I bought it, and it ran great, and I drove it around the neighborhood like 5 times this afternoon with no problems, or any signs of problems.
Tonight I was going to go out to put some gas in it so I could run some of that injector cleaner stuff through there and seafoam it. I get like halfway down down the street and the following things happen. The ABS light comes on, the stereo turns off. Then the tachometer starts like half working, like it will sit at 0 then surge around every once in a while. Then the engine started running like complete shit, would hardly even stay idling, was bogging down really hard, giving it gas would cause it to stutter and then rev really high and stutter some more. The headlights and turn signals stopped working, however the parking lights and dash lights stayed on. The lights in the car when the door is open worked.
I tried to start it right after this happened and it just made a buzzing noise from under the front/middle of the car somewhere, probably the starter. The lights dimmed a bit but nothing happened.
Liked 10 minutes later after pushing it back home I noticed the stereo lights came on so I tried starting it up again and it starts up just fine and is running nicely. Then, like 5 minutes later, the same events happen again and it takes a shit.
I checked the fuses and they were all good, nothing blew. The battery seems fine, since the lights are nice and bright when they are on, and when it starts it starts up right away. What else should I start checking? Alternator?
