I guess the ONLY good thing about our alternators is that they are relatively inexpensive to replace (compared to almost all the imports) AND the R&R(Remove & Replacement) time is also pretty painless.

when i start the car at night the lights come on ofcourse but at idel if i rev it up the lights get brighter then it drops to about 800 rpm and the car starts to missfire, the light dim out then the car revs its self up to 1500 and the lighs brighten up. It doesnt run rough all the time only sometimes, i just replaced the MAF sensor its getting a bit better milage but it still runs the same as usual..uneven at idel usually. I just tested the charging system, with the car off it holds 12.36 volts and with the car running and the headlights on its at 14.55 volts so i think its safe to say its fine.
