I'm drawing a blank sorry... I'm the type that need to be physically turn a wrench on it. It's very tough to diagnois on the computer not knowing exactly what the car is doing.

[kylebes1]

as far as i know the regulator must work fine because the amps go up and the volts stay the same with increasing rpms, that is waht it is supposed to do rihgt?

The thing is this guy I know is not great at diagonising problems; unless there is a hole in your cylinder head and you can see the ground through the hole in the pan below, then he might say "oh that aint a problem, leave it with me", so if you want to come down to Georgia and help me I will make you a grilled chesse sandwich.

Love to visit holtlanta but I have work 5 days a week. Plus I'm on a trip on Tuesday. There has to be someone local to you that can find your nightmare.
