Default Intermittent charging

sometimes charge drops(below 12 VDC) off and accessory operation makes it worse and will even stop the engine. I've watched this happen while not touching anything and a voltmeter hooked up to battery! Suspect cooling fan as it then came on and and charge returned to normal. BTW for those of you that have a battery drain problem, check to make sure hood doesn't touch top posts!

my 93 would do the same thing, i opted for the 3g alternator swap, other than doin a lil bit of grinding to the alt bracket it was super easy and i dont have any charge/drain problems anymore even at night with the ac,lights,radio,cooling fan, and ac blower goin, plus car doesnt try to die on me anymore, well worth it. good luck

also check your connections on the back side of the guage cluster. a bad volt meter can case chargeing issues as well.
