Alternator problems??
my battery gauge starts fluctuating and Im loosing power. My headlight were also flickering. The engine stayed running but would temporally loose power on the gas. I also got a code but haven't got it checked yet. Anybody had a similar experience or know what might be wrong please respond thanks

Don't sound like a alt problem. Sounds like a short or grounding problem. Check over the battery cables and clean them up real good, both ends of both cables.

thanks danthurs i cleaned the cables at the battery, the positive was pretty gunked up, and it started up fine and the check engine light didnt come on. Imma drive it a little and see if its really fixed but it looks good. great advice
also does a 95 save codes.... so if the check engine doesnt come back on can i still read the code that it spit before?
